STEPS Routine for Violin

S: Set -- Set your left hand in the correct position (rounded
fingers) at the upper front bout (where instruments neck
meets the instruments body)

T: Taps -- Tap the D string with all four fingertips at the same time.
Your set of fingers should bounce on and off like a
basketball on the floor. Practice Tip-Taps (the right
way) and Slap-Taps (the wrong way).

E: Elbow -- Swing your elbow in an arc from left to right. Fingers
should move along with elbow.

P: Place & Pluck -- Place all four fingers down on the D string as a tunnel
over your A string. With your right hand, pluck the A
string, which is under your finger tunnel. Be sure it rings
clean.

S: Slide -- Keep your fingers down and slide your whole hand back
into regular playing position. Make sure your hand and
fingers all move together! Keep your wrist open, and
check for Pancakes.
