How can I cope with groups of pupils all playing tunes with their bows for the first time?
A. Playing proper tunes with the bow is essential to avoid the boredom usually associated with months of plucking. In a group of 4, invite 3 pupils to use their doodle bows while one plays with the real bow, taking it in turns to do so. At the 5th turn you will be surprised at the pleasurable result. Indeed, pupils learning in groups can advance more speedily by adopting this method.
