How To Play The Violin-4 Essential Skills You Must Master
Although I cannot tell you how to play the violin in a four hundred word article, I can give you some good tips to improve your chances of learning this instrument properly.
The violin is a complex instrument that takes a little time and a lot of dedicated practice to master. But with a little work you should be able to learn to play simple music in just a few short weeks.
As with most subjects that are worth learning, it's essential to master the fundamentals before you progress to more complex tasks.
Here are (in my opinion) the four most important tasks to get right when learning how to play the violin.
Use Proper Bowing Techniques
It's important to maintain a 90 degree angle between the bow and the strings. Using your lower arm, and your wrist, draw the bow across the strings of the instrument. Hers a good video that show you how to use the bow properly when learning violin for beginners.
Proper Posture
Learning the proper posture will make playing the violin much easier on your body. You must be comfortable when playing your instrument, this will increase your ability to learn and make playing more enjoyable.
When sitting, make sure you sit upright, do not slouch. Hold the violin at a 40 degree angle to the horizontal line of your shoulders.
The wrist holding the neck of the violin must stay in line with your arm.
If standing, make sure your weight is distributed evenly on both feet.
Hold The Violin Properly
The violin should be held with the left arm (if you're right handed) curved under the body and over the neck of the instrument so the hand and finger can be placed over the strings.
The chin rest should be placed between the chin and the left shoulder.
You're right arm should now be positioned in front of your face to play the violin.
Note Fingering
The lack of frets makes learning notes on the violin more of an art than a science. You must train your ear to recognize the note positions on the fingerboard. Violin strings are tuned G, D, A, E from the lowest to highest notes travelling down the neck of the violin.
Fortunately there are commercial fingerboard guides you can get to put on your violin to make learning the notes easier.
