For a beginner, holding a violin is one of the most crucial things to learn when you are first learning how to play. This is one of the mistakes commonly made by children when they learn to position the instrument with their hand. However, they should be learning how to hold it with their chin only. In order to promote a good understanding how to hold a violin properly, here is a guide on what should be happening when you learn to hold your violin.
The preliminary step is to ensure that the thumb is about an inch from the nut and slightly bent and in contact with the neck at the middle joint. Also, there should be an open space in between the base of the index finger and the lower half of the thumb. The space should be such that it is possible to fit a pencil through it and move it back and forth freely. The space limits the tension that occurs in the left hand that inhibits smooth shifting between positions.
The next step is to take your shoulder of the left side of the equipment with your left hand and put it out in front of your left foot. Ensure to make your arm quite nice and straight. Turn the violin over to make it upside down and fly it into your neck. This is the most challenging part, since you want to ensure that you cannot really see the top of your shoulder. When the instrument is held in this position and the holder is still able to see the top of his/ her shoulder, then a lot of mistakes have been made.
The best position is such that you are not able to see the top of your shoulder. If the gadget is on top of the shoulder, let go of it and even put the left hand on your right shoulder. Position the head in such a way that it is turned and at the same time relaxed and laid backward as when you are sleeping. This should not be overdone, but just a little bit.
Hold the instrument straight with the strings parallel to the ground. The equipment tends to drop with terrible carriage. Position your left hand toward the end of the neck, before the struts. Hold the neck between your left thumb and pointer. The instrument ought to rest on that knuckle gently. The weight of the equipment ought to be appropriated equitably between this knuckle and your collarbone.
Many students get themselves into the incorrect left hand position. They get entangled into this bad habit by facing the music stand directly when reading music. The position forces them to move the violin to the left side in order to see the whole page. In an attempt to prevent this, position your body in such a manner that the scroll is pointed approximately eight inches to the left of the music stand. For you to achieve this, be sure not to twist your upper torso to the left.
This is a beautiful position for the violin. With the position, the equipment is nice and flat. It is enjoyable to play and very interesting. You can use a mirror to check everything you are doing and remember to remain relaxed and composed.
Finally, look straight down the violin strings. Do not play with the left side of your face against the chinrest. Sitting in a chair does not really change any of the above suggestions. However, a mirror can be used to check everything. Throughout the session, keep relaxed and free from any tension.
