56 min
WU with Feuillard #33, trying for that gooey detache. Working with bow hold, trying to reproduce what we came up with at lesson last night: 1 on top, 2 hooked under, 3 in curve of frog pushing down on ferrule, 4 curved into frog where it meets the stick. "Allowing" arm weight.

New feet placement, making sure I am not internally rotated at the hips, using feet to push against floor to give more support. Rt foot pushes on downbow.

Bach Air.
Working on the new shifts. Lots of old finger shifts. New bowings, too. Appreciate T4- taking the time to work out recommendations. Supination to hook the string, start long notes with a phhhht instead of a kkkkkk. Spent about 45 min.

Finish with another 5 min of Feuillard, Emily's martele 4 and 8 to a bow. That was fun!

Index finger feels good today. Must be aware and not damage it again on Wed night.
