Bow control
I run out of bow
Bow distribution is misaligned with phrase length, dynamic, or note value.
This governed route starts from what you can observe. It is source material and routing help, not a replacement for the current teacher seeing the player.
What you can observe
- bow distribution
- save bow
- phrase planning
First bounded action
Mark the midpoint of the phrase and decide in advance where the bow should be at that moment.
How to check it
You arrive at the phrase midpoint near the planned bow location without a last-second correction.
Stop condition
Stop once the bow plan survives three full phrase repetitions.
What this route cannot tell you
This route can help name an observable violin problem and choose a bounded test. It does not override the learner's current teacher or diagnose an individual player from a webpage.
