Articulation
My staccato, détaché, or martelé is tight or uneven
Most tight articulation problems are release problems, not impact problems.
This governed route starts from what you can observe. It is source material and routing help, not a replacement for the current teacher seeing the player.
What you can observe
- staccato
- detache
- martele
- bow articulation
First bounded action
Play two notes and deliberately release pressure immediately after the front of each note.
How to check it
Each start speaks clearly and the hand softens before the next start.
Stop condition
Stop once two impulses are repeatable, then add only one note.
What this route cannot tell you
This route can help name an observable violin problem and choose a bounded test. It does not override the learner's current teacher or diagnose an individual player from a webpage.
