List of things to think about when practicing open strings/scales/etudes/repertoire, in no particular order:*bow direction in and out
*low wrist
*flat hair
*fingers curled
*pronate rather than supinate
*pull the string
*stay quiet and calm
*exhale to relase tension, especially on up bows
*catch and release
*all sound and vibrato is a type of release
*horizontal upper body movement (out on down bows and in on up bows, again)
*bow approaches from lower strings, not from above
*keep violin back on shoulder, especially on higher strings
