By Tanisha Berg


If you like playing music instruments then it is important to have the basics of a violin. The most important thing is knowing the proper way to hold a violin. If you hold it the wrong way you may end up with fatigue, arm and shoulder aches or even a head ache. Try not to fight with the fiddle. There are several steps that can help you when it comes to holding this instrument in the right manner.

The most vital thing is to verify your instrument is the right size to fit you before you purchase it. Violins are not one size fits all. Keep straight to help your back feel comfortable. It does not make a difference in the event that you stand or sit, you ought to keep your spine very straight to provide enough support for you and the instrument. Bumping over will result in exhaustion and sore muscles.

It is important to rest your left jawbone on the jaw rest. The instructor ought to have officially fitted the right button rest to your face so it feels common. Do not stress over bracing your jaw down on the fiddle. The ordinary weight of your skull will apply a lot of weight. Your neck ought to feel loose and relaxed.

It is prudent to position the fiddle such that it is abut 90 degrees to the floor. Place it in the middle of your index finger and your thumb. The hand ought to be turned marginally upwards so that the four fingers are twisted around on the fingerboard. The elbow ought to be bowed to structure a triangle with the violin.

You need to ensure that while holding the fiddle your wrist is kept down and not pushed up. Many people have a tendency of raising their wrist before they learn how to handle the instrument. Most of the lessons of holding this instrument are actually about how to not handle it. Left handed students especially have a harder time with the fiddle. However, violins come in both right and left handed holdings. This affects the hand you grip the bow with and not the fiddle.

You ought to support the instrument in a manner that allows easy movement. In the event that you are shaky about dropping the instrument, you will raise your wrist and your shoulder to hold it set up. In the event that you fasten it that way, you may end up with wrist pains as well as jaw throbs and shoulder aches.

The right term to describe holding of this instrument is balancing. The elbow should bend naturally and the hands crook will rock the neck area and this will allow your fingers to move freely. The fiddle is designed that way so that it can balance well on the player. If you are able to balance the instrument well you will be more confident and relaxed.

A few teachers demand tenderfoots who have yet to figure out how to hold a violin utilize the shoulder rest to ensure their collarbone is protected. This serves to immobilize the thumb so it does not touch the music instrument. Notwithstanding, numerous professional violinists state they never learned with a shoulder rest or utilized one. This is on account of the shoulder rest can rashly affect the vibrations of the instrument.
