A full sequence takes 3 minutes, and includes breathing, pizzicato and bowing. Shorter videos will not be accepted. I need to see that you're doing the breathing in all three sections (in through nose out through mouth), otherwise it doesn't count.

Metronome at 40 bpm.

2 Breath cycles

1 Pizzicato rainbow (8 beats per string, breath in breath out)

1 Bow rainbow (8 beats per string, down bow and up bow)

Detailed Explanations:

BREATHS CYCLE:

IN breath count 4

OUT breath count 4

This is one breath cycle

PIZZICATO CYCLES:

1 pizz. per beat while breathing IN for 4 beats.

1 pizz. per beat while breathing OUT for 4 beats.

This is a one pizzicato-cycle.

PIZZICATO RAINBOW:To do a rainbow, play from your lowest string (IV) to your highest string (I) and then back down. For violins, this looks like G, D, A, E, A, D, G. For cello and viola this looks like C, G, D, A, D, G, C. This sequence is called a rainbow. Please start on your bottom string. People are not really following directions.

BOWING CYCLES:

A down-bow is when you play with your bow from the frog to the tip. An up-bow is when you play from the tip to the frog. Play 1 down bow while breathing IN (through nose) for 4 beats. Play 1 up bow (from tip to frog) while breathing OUT (through mouth) for 4 beats. This is one bow-cycle.

BOW RAINBOW:

Same as pizzicato rainbow but with bowing. Play from your lowest string (IV) to your highest string (I) and then back down. IV-III-II-I-II-III-IV (low to high string then high to low)

Total time = 3 minutes
