"Tadpoles are a clever and useful tactile aid to correct bow hold set-up for all string instruments."
-Sandra Dackow
“Tadpoles made teaching the bow hold more tangible for my students. The various textures and indentions helped them understand EXACTLY where to place their fingers on the bow. Most importantly, using Tadpoles sped up the teaching process and made transferring their bow hold from the Tadpole to a bow EASIER.”
-David Pope
"I have a 6th grade Autistic student with a severe deficit in fine motor skills. He struggled to hold the bow correctly in addition to left hand finger placement. The tadpole with it's tactile representations and specific points of contact to reference was a game changer for this student. Recently he was able to play the entire D Major scale with a decent bow hold. It was a great moment for him and for me as a teacher."
-Clay McKinney
"I have loved using Tadpoles with my beginning (and even not so beginning) orchestra students. It helps them feel their way around the frog of the bow in new, innovative tactile ways. Since using them I have seen a huge improvement in our right hand bow development!"
