Things To Remember On How To Hold A Violin Properly

By Beryl Dalton


We all have different passions. Some find it on the expression of art like dancing and painting. Others are more onto the beauty of composition using words such as the of writing or blogging. Regardless of the inclination that you have, acting on it and looking for opportunities where you can improve your skills and share what you have to other people is important.

Passion is varied. It could be about foods, flowers, painting and everything that you find some kind of special attachment to. Those who cannot stop themselves from asking questions like how to hold a violin properly are most likely lovers of music who want to learn how to play a song using different instruments. Violin is a brilliant instrument and if you are someone who admires its beauty, then you may want to consider looking at the basic things you should know in holding it.

First, you need to observe proper posture. There is a reason why mentors and music instructor place this thing on top of the list. Playing an instrument may take time and how you carry yourself can impact the comfort that you feel while on stage and the quality of music that you produce. Playing the violin can be done either by sitting or standing. Regardless of what you choose, you back needs to be straight with your feet flat on the floor.

Rest the violin on your collarbone and support it with your left shoulder and left hand. The broader end of the violin should be rested on collarbone. Your shoulder need not to be so stiff that you will have difficult moving. Left hand needs to support the other end of the instrument, giving way to balance.

Third, follow the right angling of head and chin. This is the method by which you secure the position of the instrument. You will observe later on as you start playing that you have the tendency to move the instrument along with your body. To ensure that it remains in place, your head and chin needs to be situated in a position that allows it to remain in place.

Observe proper hand positioning. Now this is one of the most important given that playing this instrument relies mainly on the right position of your fingers. Just like playing the guitar, the right positioning of fingers is necessary to produce sounds. Once you start studying on how to read notes and to actually play it, you will have a better understanding on the importance of the right positioning.

Observe balance between flexibility and strength. This still has something to do with the hands. While your wrists needs to observe flexibility so that you can easily adjust the positioning of the other end of the violin as fit, you will need to grip the strings with strength. Otherwise, you will not be able to produce your desired sound.

Practice. The reason why people do not really learn in the end is their lack of consistency. Deciding to study violin should be coupled with commitment for you to see some results. Also, practicing does not only happen within a day or two, weeks or a month. You will have to learn a lot of things and you can practice as many times as you want. Those who are really great on their craft are those who does it everyday.

It is not easy to learn how to play an instrument. This is especially true if it is your first time holding it. You need to devote time and effort to be able to play it with ease. But as long as you have the passion, you can always find time.
