Piwin -> RE: Questions about Picado technique (Mar. 29 2016 18:47:34)

The way I see it, the staccato exercices are meant to force you to minimize movement in the right-hand fingers and that's about it. I don't think picado is meant to be played stacato. Basically, if you can play staccato at 80bpm, chances are you will be comfortable playing the same picado without staccato at say 110 bpm (don't trust these figures, I'd have to check on a metronome what works for me but you get the point). So of course it's good practice to speed up the staccato, but the idea is just to minimize finger movement so that you're comfortable playing "normaly" at higher speeds. That being said, I have to admit that picado is not my strong suit so maybe I should let the experts talk [8D]
