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.

The usefulness of playing the said instrument is beyond one learning the skills to play wonderful music. It is truly essential for him or her to know the proper way to hold a violin since it is not just physically useful. When one starts out, he or she may feel tired especially after playing it. One need not worry because this is totally normal. This is not a long-lasting problem because he or she will eventually have stronger upper body and arm muscles. It is not necessary for one to go to the gym just to achieve 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.

It is necessary for one to sit up straight and tall when playing the instrument. Without even knowing it, he or she will have the ability to support his or her upper body with more fitting posture, plus have stronger shoulders and back.

Without a doubt, you need to coordinate your fingers together with your arms when you are playing such instrument. The string should be pressed by your left hand to play it properly and match it up with the motion of the bow in your right. As you learn to play such instrument, you will have increased coordination as well as motor skills.

Aside from those physical benefits, playing this instrument is also a healthy way to let off some steam especially on a stressful day. It cannot be denied that the sound of its music has a calming effect. In addition, relaxation through the familiarity of the piece can be provided by playing a song. After practicing, individuals may feel as though they just finished an effective therapy session.

Individuals will definitely feel an awesome accomplishment when they dedicate themselves to learn playing this instrument. They will not only realize that they can do difficult things, but achieve the goals they set for themselves. They will definitely feel proud for triumphing over a specifically difficult piece or for doing well at a performance. As a matter of fact, this feeling of accomplishment may help them stick with it.

Of course, playing in front of many people can make one feel anxious. Nevertheless, he or she can have better self-confidence if he or she allows him or her self to be exposed to new things. Almost everyone can understand music. Deep conversations between those speaking different languages usually happen when a known piece is being played. This is how music can make everyone feel amazing.
