Lesson 16: GPS for Strings—Practice Groove 2

           (SBM Ch. 9, Strum Etude 10)

           • Hum It—Get it in our voice

           • Strum It—Get it in our body/arm

           • Say It—Get it in our brain

           • Play It—keep saying the bow direction

• Connection between our voice and our arm 

• Gesture bowing—downbows on the accents. This is different from Strum Bowing

• Gesture Bowing—sing it and gesture with your right hand

• Strum Bowing is for playing rhythm; Gesture Bowing is for playing melody
