This was a neat post! It's satisfying to see my teaching from the other side and realize I successfully got the goods across (my only quibble, and it is _deeply_ minor: what you were calling downstroke is called "backstroke", and the other is "handstroke" --although on bodies, I may have said down and up because that makes more sense there).

I look forward to seeing you more often at bells --you've definitely got strong beginning potential, in terms of being able to hold tension well and do straight lines.
