This project will simply make beginning musicians learn how to play their instruments easier and quicker. The bow straightener will allow students to feel the correct way to cross the bow with the strings to produce the best sound on the violin and the viola. The cello stops will allow students a place to position their cello instead of piercing holes into my floors or using their shoes at times. The bass hook up will allow my bass player to be heard not only in concerts but also in practice. This will allow the students to feel and kee a steady beat.
