What a splendid video. Always good to see you, Professor Bushkova!

I love this video... I hate upbow staccato. It took me forever to get it right. *THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO EXPLAINING HOW TO DO THE UPBOW STACCATO CORRECTLY*

[@deveshgupta8655]

Thank you Professor! This way of practicing staccato has been immensely helpful to me

[@antonsaraste4726]

Emma has a lightning fast staccato! Great video

[@luitoviolin]

Lovely video, thanks a lot Prof. Julia. We can perceive in your students the joy of studying with you. 😊

[@irenegriffin3050]

Wonderful video! While this is technique way beyond my ability, it's still great to see how it's done and how it is that those pieces are played! To all of your students, great job! You're all very talented! 🙂

[@kyproset]

Thank you, professor, for a thorough, structured approach to staccato. I hope to improve it.

[@ab-zg8pt]

What a fantastic studio!!!!!!!

[@leonardospinielli8556]

Since that your staccato seems so easy and clear I deduce it is the correct way to learn it. Thank you.

[@deceptivecadence]

Such a wonderfully clear explanation and examples for upbow staccato! I’ve never been able to do it well (haven’t really needed it as an orchestral player) but my dad has always wanted me to play Hora Staccato for him. He’s 88, so I need to start practicing *right now*! 🤭 Thanks again for a great video.

[@willy_wombat]

The beginning with the bloopers is very funny 😄. Thanks for the great video. Every video from you lead to more exploration or discovery by me 😊. Thank you very much ❤.

[@milanchristi7939]

Terrific explanation and demonstrations!

[@peggywynn3879]

I love this video and it helps me to keep practicing staccato!

[@hamwhacker]

Thank you to you and your wonderful students. It was so fun and uplifting to see them play the exercises and inspire each other, including us watching! I wonder what Mr Heifetz would say if he saw this! He was a very tough task master, I think. Given the choice I would prefer you as my teacher, because you bring out the best in everyone without the huge pressure. Bravo 👏 ❤

[@gamsengmyitung4361]

So nice thankyou all of you

[@mariovicente]

Loved this! Its really cool to watch the next generation of artists doing it too.

[@ClySaga]

I have no business watching this lol.. I’ve only started violin 2 months ago

[@robysarno]

Very good indeed! I use mostly the wrist kind and in a slightly bended shape where the hand points down: this gives me the opportunity to not only control the speed but also a better coordination with the left. But as always the end justifies the means so whatever is necessary to achieve the goal is welcome. Brava professor and bravissimi your students! Drop of the hat!

[@DA-er2fr]

Love how the Prof. Bushkova teaches upbow staccato! Super helpful. Also, the vibe of this video is so cheerful! Really enjoyed it. Thank you!

felicidades y gracias por compartir

[@martatessi]

Thank you so much!

[@randylazer2894]

Julia...very well done. You are obviously a tremendous teacher, while some of your students seem to be truly exceptional. I have played the violin forever and was thinking of that passage in Saint-Saens Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, and then Marlon nailed it like great concert artist. Although I performed with symphonies and chamber orchestras, I did a lot with jazz and blues in Las Vegas, and have an upcoming jazz-60's-70's violin cd. However, I stepped away from classical music for years working on that cd, and developing my jazz playing, and now am trying to regain my technique. Thus I greatly appreciate your videos and your truly exceptional teaching. Thank you for sharing, and for the excellent playing and efforts of your students.

[@kehwa]

Would you go as far as to say the controlled staccato is a prerequisite to the tight arm staccato? Is that why you set the sequence in that way?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

No, it is not a pre-requisite at all. The reason to learn the controlled staccato is that it is used in many more situations that the super-fast tight arm

[@powerflower6727]

„That muscle“ is the musculus interosseus dorsalis manus dextrae I. What a pity that this won‘t help with staccato. 😂 Very nice video, thank you for your generous wonderful work!

[@debasisbanerjee3480]

I want to enroll myself in your violin academy. Would you please teach me madam? I look forward to your answer. I am from West Bengal, India. ,(Debasis Banerjee)

[@agneslimsoochern3964]

Hi teacher, does the tilt of the bow matter?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I use the tilt at all times.

[@manfred4766]

don´t talk like speaking staccato ! 😂 flying staccato is too easy. But controlled upbow staccato on the string is also easy. What is a little bit more difficult ( not really ) is the downbow. See Paganini caprice Nr. 7. The difficulty is the change from upbow to downbow. and the change of the strings ! I learned the upbow staccato more from my wrist with the wrist leading the fingers. You can use suppination. In contrary for the downbow, you have to use pronation and the wrist leading downwards. For me that was the most logical way to play. And for the fast staccato, you play a stiff wrist !

[@ViolinClassUSA]

We physically cannot use supination while playing with the bow. It is anatomically impossible

[@greenviolist34]

Total guess... but does she have a C. Becker violin?

[@ViolinClassUSA]

I do

[@greenviolist34]

@@ViolinClassUSA awesome! That varnish color is very particular. Lovely sound!
