The Violin Bow Should Be Parallel To The Piano Code
Generally speaking, a short split bow (including fast and slow) or a simple bow method can be done by children under the condition of watching (correcting at any time and place, and when necessary, adults will lead the violin with their hands), but a slow split bow, especially a bow with a lot of sounds, may make children a little dependent on the bow, so they often forget the mark and consciously or unconsciously pull it over the mark to the bow tip. At this time, due to the short arm, Short bows are also harmful to children, just like women's foot-binding in the past, because short bows not only restrict the movement of the right arm, but also directly affect the development of the right hand and arm. Moreover, due to the long arm, the tail groove at the tip of the bow will rub the strings and make squeaking noise or knocking sound when playing. What's more, when the performance is intense, the tail groove at the tip of the bow is not only easy to rub the strings, but also carelessly, the bow (lower bow) falls off the strings like a wild horse and hits the piano panel. As the bow returns quickly, it touches the strings, and sometimes the bow is inserted into the middle of the strings, resulting in the interruption of

performance. This is the result of the short bow. The size of the piano and the length of the bow are out of proportion to children's figure, which is extremely harmful to children's learning. Therefore, it is extremely important to ensure that the size of the piano and the length of the bow are always adapted to children's figure. When we understand the harm that the size of the piano and the length of the bow are out of proportion to children's figure to children's learning, how to choose the piano and bow becomes the main problem. Often, some parents ask me how old it is to use a piano for children. It is difficult to have a specific size, because every child's development is different, even children of the same age have different development, so no one can stipulate a unified specification. The best way is to take the piano and let the children try it themselves. When the children pick up the piano and bow and pose for playing, all parts of their bodies are in a natural state, such a piano is the most suitable for children to use. The size of the piano and the length of the bow are important to children's learning, but how parents protect the piano and the bow is also very important. I have a deep understanding of this. I have not only seen it in practice, but also experienced it personally. Many children have damaged their pianos because their parents didn't protect them properly, thus interrupting their studies.
