Spiccato to Détaché Switch (Ševčík & Dont etudes)
Switching between spiccato and détaché becomes much easier when you develop the underlying skills required to produce a consistent, resonant sound in both strokes. These fundamentals apply whether you’re preparing auditions or simply working to make your bow feel more reliable. In this video, I explore how the two strokes are related, isolate the core skills to practice separately, highlight the role of the right elbow, and use short segments from Ševčík Op. 3 and Dont Etude No. 2 to build control that transfers directly into repertoire.
