• Save bow on the downbow and finish on the string • Start the up from the string • Use the same amount of bow on each 8th note • Faster tempos will require staying in the lower half • In certain styles, the 8ths will come off the string • Usually the quarter note gets the stress, the 8ths are lighter • Common mistake: too much bow on the quarter • Common mistake: unequal amount of bow on the two 8ths
