Holding the Bow
|
These are the two main Bass bow-hold options that you will encounter in the 'Bass world.' Different musicians and teachers sometimes have strong opinions on these two options...
We will learn the French Grip in our Elementary Strings Class (see the picture above on the left) because it is the easiest transition from our violin, viola, and cello bow holds (which all string players at NM have been learning since 2nd grade). Bass players will need to specify which type of bow they would like with their instrument. We choose FRENCH.
The video below will help explain how to hold the French Bow.
