Anyone who has tried to play the violin will find that it is not easy in the beginning. A violin may look small and feel like it is an easy instrument to pick up, however, it is possibly one of the most difficult instruments to pick up.
My purpose here is not to scare you off learning the violin, or to discourage here. Rather, through this article, I hope to be able to inform you of what you need to be aware of before learning the violin. What are these tips?
- First tip: learn the parts of the violin
You will need to know the correct terms for each of the part of the violin. This may seem like a logical process, but some novice violin players do not know the correct terminology of the instruments they are playing!
The violin comprise of many parts, from the scroll to the neck and bridge and fingerboard. Then there are the components like the pegs which hold the violin strings together, the chinrest and tail piece. Familiarize yourself with the different parts of the violin so this shows that you are interested in picking up the skill of playing the violin.
- Hold the violin correctly
It is recommended that you use a shoulder rest with your violin, so the instrument fits nicely under your neck. Then you will need to hold the violin correctly. There are many things one can learn online, but learning the techniques of properly holding a violin and the proper way of playing can only be done through a violin teacher. This is a skill that cannot be self taught.
- Hold the bow correctly.
Many people think they are playing only one instrument when they learn the violin. Actually, you are learning how to handle two instruments, not one. The other instrument is the violin bow.
You will need to know how to properly hold a bow in your hands. The violin bow is actually an extension of you hand and it should feel natural when you use the bow on your violin. Again, the proper bowing techniques can only be taught by a teacher, and cannot be self taught.
