🎻Two different techniques: Spiccato PART1 and Sautillé🎶

Unlock the secrets of two essential bowing techniques in this comprehensive guide: Spiccato and Sautillé. Learn the nuances that set them apart and discover how to master each of them.
1. Understanding the Difference:
-Spiccato, characterized by a slower stroke, contrasts with the swift and energetic nature of Sautillé . Explore the intricacies, such as individual muscular impulses per stroke in Spiccato and the absence of such impulses in Sautillé
Different bowing dynamics – in Spiccato, the bow's hair maintains contact with the string, while in Sautillé it hovers just above. Experience the difference with live examples that showcase the beauty of each technique.
-Tempo
Understand the tempo variations that complement these techniques. Delve into the rhythm, with Spiccato finding its groove at a metronome setting of 60, perfect for anything slower than a quarter note at 100. As the tempo rises beyond 100, seamlessly transition to Sautillé
2. Learning Spiccato:
Embark on a journey to master Spiccato with two distinct approaches.
-From the Air Approach:
Visualise your bow as a gentle arc, like a banana, and let it fall gracefully onto the strings. Set your metronome to 50 and practice quarter, eighth, triplets, and sixteenth notes. Experience the fluid transition from Spiccato to Sautillé and vice versa. Challenge yourself by reversing the sequence from sixteenth to quarter notes.
-From the String Approach:
Start with a detached bow stroke, applying 70% pressure. Gradually subtract pressure to refine your Spiccato technique.
