What One Learns From Fiddle Lessons Helena AL

By Paulette Short


The fiddle or the violin is one of the most beautiful instruments in the entire world of music because of its unique sound it can produce. Of course if one would want to master this exquisite instrument, it is important to first take some official fiddle lessons Helena AL. For those who are new to this, here are some things that will be learned in this course.

The very first part of the lesson will just be learning about the instrument itself and how to use it. One will also be learning about the different accessories and equipment that can be found inside of a violin case. The main parts would be the violin itself, the bow, and of course the bar of resin.

When one has understood how all of the equipment and the parts work, then he can already start with the basics on handling this thing. Now in preparation for the playing, he has to first make sure that the bow and the hairs are tight and steady. Once the hairs have already been tightened, then after that he may put some resin on the hairs in order to make sure that he does not have a hard time stroking the strings.

If one would want his instrument to sound nice, then he must first learn to be able to tune it properly. The proper way to tune it would be to put it in standard tuning although he may opt to drop the tune a bit or put it up if he would want. If he does not know how to tune, then he may just learn how from the net.

When that is done, then the next thing that one should do would be to study the proper way of holding the bow. In order to play properly, one must hold the bow tightly with the first three fingers and just lightly with the last finger. If one is not used to stretching his fingers, then it will be a bit hard at first but after some practice, it will be fine.

The next thing that one will have to learn is to hold the instrument properly. To properly hold the violin, one must hold it at the end with all fingers curved so that the fingers can move freely when changing notes. Also, one must put his chin on the chin rest that is built in the instrument.

From there on, one may now practice making some sounds with his violin or fiddle. He may first start with open strings by not pressing any strings and just stroking the bow on to those strings. Later on, one will be learning how to make use of the different kinds of notes that are there.

So as one can see, there are a lot of things to think of when a person takes up some fiddle lessons Helena AL. As he progresses, he will be learning how to play harder songs. With these lessons, he is sure to be able to to play music from this instrument nicely.
