Knowing The Proper Way To Hold A Violin

By Iva Cannon


One of the most widely known musical instruments among adults and children of all ages is the violin. It is not only a beautiful looking instrument, but beautiful to listen to at the same time. Individuals who are planning to take violin lessons will be surprised and happy to know that it is associated with several benefits.

They can definitely gain the ability to play beautiful music, but the benefits of playing this instrument go far beyond that. Learning the proper way to hold a violin is not only important, but physically beneficial at the same time. When they first start out, individuals may find themselves tiring quickly after playing it. This is definitely normal. This problem will not last long because their arm muscles and upper body will become stronger. Even without making a single trip to the gym, they will have stronger arms.

One's fingers on his or her left hand may be strained especially when reaching for a particular string as this is necessary when learning more difficult pieces. He or she has to know how to control the bow using the fingers on his or her right hand. When his or her fingers are more flexible the strain will disappear. This means he or she can play new impressive techniques in the future.

You need to sit up properly as well as straight when playing such instrument. Later on, you will be capable to support your upper body with improved posture as well as have stronger back as well as shoulders. These will certainly not take long.

The simultaneous coordination between one's fingers and his or her arms must be achieved as it is necessary when playing the instrument. The ideal way to play it is by using his or her left hand to press a string and it has to match up with the bow's movement. As he or she learns to play it, he or she will experience better motor and coordination skills.

One very effective way to release some steam is by playing the instrument. The sound of music undeniably has a particular effect that calms people. Additionally, playing a familiar piece can help one feel more relaxed. Once he or she is done practicing, he or she will feel as if he or she just got out from an excellent therapy session.

One's dedication to learn playing the instrument will pay off and he or she will feel accomplished. Besides realizing that he or she can actually do difficult tasks, he or she will realize that the goals he or she set for him or her self can be achieved. This is exactly how one will feel after doing excellently at a performance or winning over a challenging piece. One may even continue playing the instrument because of how accomplished he or she feels.

Majority of the time, it is nerve-wracking to play in front of the crowd at a concert. However, better self-confidence can be provided if individuals put themselves out there and try something outside their confort zone. Music is definitely a universal language. Individuals can have a deep conversation with someone who speaks a different language by simply playing a well-known piece. According to those who did, they felt amazing.
