Bowing Straight

There is a whole new module dedicated to bowing straight! This seams easy, but I tell people who are playing for ten years on a regular basis to REALLY bow straight and it solves many of their problems. There are some good tips to get this done and make it a habit.

Proportions in Tone Production

To get the best possible sound out of your violin, there is a whole new module ‘Proportions in Tone Production’ with a handy schedule on what weight, speed, contact point and hair you use in different situations. Very technical, but interesting stuff!

Learning Spiccato

There are two new SPICCATO modules! I noticed a gap between the step by step spiccato practice plan and applying spiccato to stuff you play. In the module ‘Learning Spiccato’ there are 10 brand new videos on how to develop a good spiccato that you can color and use for your musical expression. In the module ‘Spiccato with Ševčík’ I teach you how to practice spiccato and develop your skills even further.

Double Stops

There is a new module on double stops and how to practice them! It’s very handy to be able to play on two strings at the same time and it does wonders for your intonation. Of course the video lessons go hand in hand with inspiring performance videos of the greatest soloists.

More new stuff…

• In Bow Hold there’s a new video about contact points and flexibility. This makes it possible to maintain a good bow hold while still moving along your fingers and wrist with the bow stroke.
• In Bow Smoothly there’s a new video about the right thumb and it’s function in bowing fluently.
• In String Crossing there’s a new video about fast string crossings over 3 or 4 strings.
