Lead from the elbow -- typical overanalysis.

Violinists, overanalyzing?

I'm trying to cure a young student of over-elbowizing; . I told her to quit flapping her chicken wings, which helped for a few minutes.

would it help to get her hooked on caffeine?
BTW do your Yankee Starbucks do somethign called Mango Latte. basically a mango smoothie? Discivered them this summer. Cheers,
Buri One of my violin teacher said something about the elbow is a very heavy thing when I had some trouble with bowing but I never quite understood what she was talking about. Anyway, I always found the elbow is the dumbest parts of the body and don’t want to give it much of a leading role. In doing Chinese calligraphy, your elbow is supposed to be off the desk in the air to free the movement of your arm, but the focus has always been on the hand, wrist and fingers but never the elbow – probably not without good reasons. hence the designation of `funny bone` I suppose.
