• posture
• get ready to shift up on the e string playing a scale.
• rotate hand around and prepare fingers to drop on the way up the scale
• Start with shifting and shift into third position on a one, from F sharp to a : 1 to 1
• Break down the shift into three steps.
  • Step one: play the first note
  • Step 2 prepare the wrist, this is the “and“
  • Step three make the decisive shift.
• Metaphors are: the way a snake moves in an S shape, or stepping from stone to stone in a Brooke
• We discussed this same motion with the bow hand, using finger to move the bow without the arm moving. This leads to being able to use wrist motion to make small movements with the bow for fast playing.
• After the one to one shift is mastered, do two, which is the G sharp to the a. This requires using the one to jump in just above where the two was by shoving the two out of the way. But the same wrist preparation motion happens first.
• In order to overcome resistance to be in third position, create an exercise just in third position. Play the one on the a on the east string and then the B and then the sea sharp with the two and three respectively.
• Double stops with the open a string to check for tuning is a good way to also practice bow control at the same time.
• For More bow finger flexibility do the jumping spider.
• We also discussed the very beginning basics of vibrato with polishing the violin and letting the wrist flop back-and-forth.
• Site read Suzuki book one first few pages, thinking really carefully about intonation. Think about just intonation versus true intonation? Extra high 2s. Let 3 finger slide down over the 2 and almost move it out of the way.
• Preparation to put the next finger down and hover over the right location is similar to the preparation of a shift, just a micro version of it.

And the first exercise that I forgot was all about tuning and turning into a Bowing and double stop exercise, listening for the combination tone. This can be difficult because a calm and equal pressure that consistent on both strings throughout the length of the bow is important. Might be necessary to raise the elbow as you get to the tip.
