    Exercise I: Martel Upper Half


    Play the excerpt from Kreutzer Etudes No. 7. Start at the tip of the bow and use
    only the upper half. Before moving the bow, add pressure from your bow arm so
    the bow sticks to the string. Then quickly jerk the bow. You should be creating a
    "T" sound at the beginning of the stroke (similar to coll only louder because you
    are using more of the bow).
    Important Tips:
    To prepare for the up-bow, start with your fingers straight ready to throw the bow
    To prepare for the down-bow, start with your fingers curved (especially the pinky) ready
    to throw the bow
    Always imitate the hard consonant sound of the "T"
    Use your biceps to throw the bow up and triceps to throw the bow down
    Play slowly with no metronome and away from the bridge
