How to Start to Play the Violin:

The violin is mostly known for being used in classical music, but there have been performers who have made a name for themselves composing more modern music for the violin. In a symphony orchestra the violin is the main melody instrument. It's a fine instrument for a music student to begin at an early age

Starting Out:

• Find a private area with a straight-back chair and a music stand
• Take the violin out of its case and place the instrument base on your lap
• Pluck each string using your right or left thumb to test its tension and hear its pitch
• Use a pitch pipe or a piano to tune your violin to G - D - A - E. ("E" is the top space on the treble clef on your sheet music. "G" is below the second ledger line of the treble clef.)
• Wrap your left hand around the upper body where the neck and fingerboard extend from the instrument
• Place the base of the violin and the black chin rest below your chin
• Bring your left shoulder around so it's under the chin rest and forms a support from below
• Keep the violin level using your left hand. Your shoulder and chin provide firm, but easy contact and support
• Be comfortable and relaxed
• Place your right thumb at the corner of the fingerboard nearest the bridge
• Put the pad of your index finger on top of the "G" string
• Apply slight pressure so that your finger lands on the neighboring "D" string. This is "plucking" and is called playing "pizzicato."
• Pluck the "G" string four times in a steady rhythm. Use no fingernails
• Repeat on the "D", "A" and "E" strings. Count with a steady beat or use a metronome
• Say the names of the strings each time you pluck to make a sound
• Mix the sequence and keep the tempo at a slow rate. Focus on accuracy
• Identify the location of the "D" and "A" quarter notes on the treble clef of your sheet music. "D" hangs just below the bottom line. "A" occupies the second space

Using the Bow:

• Tighten the bow hair so there is a 3/4-inch space between the hair and the bow at the closest point
• Place your right thumb on the inside part of the bow where the frog creeps forward and back
• Lay your three middle fingers on the outside of the bow. Place your pinkie on top, near the adjustment screw
• Rest the side of your index finger (just above its second joint) on top of the bow stick
• Place the frog end of the bow hair on top of the "G" string halfway between the end of the fingerboard and the bridge
• Allow your hand to fall naturally from your arm at the point of your wrist
• Apply a slight bit of pressure on the bow and draw a straight line while vibrating the string. Stop near the bow tip. This is a "down bow."
• Reverse the direction and move the bow on the string from the tip to the frog. This is an "up bow."
• Move the bow at a medium-slow and regular speed
• Focus on producing a steady and pleasant-sounding tone

Left-Hand Fingering:

• Place your left thumb under the violin's neck about 1 1/2 inches below the nut
• Play two pizzicato notes on the open (no fingering) "G" string
• Keep your index finger arched and press down firmly on the "G" string with the pad of your fingertip
• Play two pizzicato notes on this same string. This produces the note "A" - eight notes (an octave) lower than the open "A" string above
• Play this low "A" with your index finger on the "G" string. Then play the high "A" on the open string above. Listen to how they match in pitch
• Adjust your finger placement on the "G" string to make the "lower A" pitch match the upper
• Put your middle finger on the "G" string one inch closer to the bridge
• Pluck the string. This note is "B" - two whole steps above the "G" string
• Play B - A - G - A - B - B - B and you've played your first tune, "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
• Try these steps while using the violin bow

How to Read Music Notes for a Violin:

A violin is one of four instruments making up a primary string orchestra: viola, cello, and bass are the other three. The violin is the highest pitched of all these instruments, meaning it hits the highest notes and generally leads the orchestra, playing a classical piece's melody, while the viola, cello, and bass harmonize and support the melody.

• There are three clefs, or key ranges, used among these four instruments: treble, alto, and bass. They are basically musical languages, altered to suit the note range that each instrument is capable of. Because the violin is able to hit the highest notes, violin music is written for the treble clef. Music for the viola is written in alto clef, and the cello and bass read music in bass clef
• Pick up a sheet of violin music and count the lines on one staff. Each line indicates a note, and there should be five lines. In music, notes are represented by letters of the alphabet: A through G, and they repeat themselves as they go higher and higher in a grouping known as an "octave". In other words, you will never see an "H" note above a G, only another A through G grouping
• A violin, with the strings labelled. By Rachel Asher
• Count the spaces between the lines on one staff. Each space indicates a note, and there should be four spaces between the lines. The space below the lowest line and above the highest line also indicates a note. When playing notes that are lower or higher than the basic staff, extra lines can be drawn to indicate this
• All notes on the staff correspond to a note that you can play on the violin's four strings. The lowest string is tuned to a "G", which appears lower than the basic staff. The second-lowest string on a violin is a "D", the next string is an "A", and the highest string is an "E"
• Learn the mnemonic device to learn the notes on each line. From bottom to top, the lines on the staff indicate and E, G, B, D, and F note. A mnemonic device helps you remember the order of the notes: Every Good Boy Does Fine is a common one
• Learn the acronym that will help you remember each note in the spaces. From bottom to top, the four notes are: F, A, C, and E. This spells out "FACE."
• Write out the notes for the lines, then the spaces, on an empty space in the staff paper
• The open G, D, A, and E on a violin, as written in sheet music. By Rachel Asher.
• Learn where the open strings on a violin appear on sheet music. The G string appears below the staff, as does the D string. The open A and open E are the top two spaces on the staff
• Look for any markings on the violin sheet music that are next to a note. One may look like a number sign, which is known as a "sharp", and another may look like a lowercase "b", which is known as a "flat". There's one more note, which looks like the image next to this section. It's known as a "natural."
• Notes on a staff only indicate the full step between one note and the next, but there are also half steps, which can give music a bright and cheery major sound, or a sad or scary minor sound. Flats, sharps, and naturals help to indicate this, by telling you to hit a note between the space and the line on the staff. Sharp tells you to go higher, flat tells you to go lower, and natural tells you to ignore the key signature you're in and go back to the basic key signature, which has no flats or sharps in it
