During a lesson yesterday a student was having difficulty making sure to do a up-bow in a place where she had to move a finger down a half-step. I told her it was difficult, kind of like when you have your eyes crossed. And that morphed into “crossing i's and dotting t's.” After spell of even more confusion (and laughter), she isolated and combined the left-hand and right-arm motions successfully.
It occurred to me that I have never run across that inversion of the well-used phrase "dotting i's and crossing t's" before, so I thought I would share it here.
