Many good points by made by Darcy and David.  It is indeed impossible to teach 
swing nuances to those who don't hear and digest them.  About the portion of 
David's points quoted above: fast notes are perceived as louder than slow 
(longer values) ones, - so, proportionally, more bow is needed.  At least that 
is my experience.
