Identify procedures
for care of the
instrument.
Throughout this rehearsal I will engage in informal assessment by: Having students play a
note and listening to see if it sounds resined
Teacher takes out bow and introduces students to bow. “This is a bow, it helps
to play your instrument.”
Teacher points to end of bow and explains what the knob does “tightens the
horse hair”
Teacher tightens bow until adequately tight, explains that with the mustache
on top, the bow should make a sad face.
Teacher asks students to tighten their bows and then show teacher their sad
mustache faces
Teacher tells students not to touch the resin itself or the horse hair because
finger oil can damage them
Teacher shows students to resin bows in one direction a few times and then lets
students do it on their own
