Learn Violin with Violin Master Pro


Play the violin like a Master!

The violin is a bowed string instrument with four strings that are tuned in perfect fifths. It is the basis for the orchestra, has a huge amount of repertoire written for it, and is one of the most rewarding and beautiful instruments to play, when mastered. However, learning to play the violin is a long road, and you must be sure that you are ready for the discipline, difficult technique, and ready to commit to practice time every day.

But if you are prepared to put in the work, learning how to play the violin can be an extremely rewarding experience.

Violinists must know how to hold the violin, how to finger the notes, and how to sound the notes.

Although you can play the violin by plucking strings, it is necessary for most music to be able to use the bow. This can be difficult in the beginning, and a bit awkward, but after some practice you should be able to learn and make some music with your violin and bow.

Violin players must practice and train their ears until they know exactly where the notes are on the fingerboard. There are four positions on the violin; the first position is furthest away from the player’s face and sounds low-pitched notes. The fourth position produces the highest notes and is further up the neck. The strings are tuned, from lowest to highest, G, D, A, E. Violinists can play open strings, which means they play a string with out pressing on it, or they can change the tone of the string by applying pressure.

There are several ways of sounding notes once they are fingered. Violinists can drag the bow across the string or strings they wish to play, creating a long, steady sound. They can also play pizzicato, which involves plucking the strings with the fingers of the right hand, creating a sudden, staccato sound.

Have fun!
Violin playing should not feel like a chore. While you should practice the music you need to for your teacher or orchestra, leave time at the end for your favorite music.
