Violin Music for Beginners - Where to Start?

 

Everybody loves music. Some do not settle on listening alone; there are people who aspire to produce their own and to learn how to play an instrument. One good example would be learning how to play a violin. Violin is being played by a musician called the violinist or fiddler in a wide selection of music genre such as Baroque music, classical, jazz, folk music, and rock and roll. It is then important to determine the niche and violin techniques and to know violin music for beginners who dream to become a fiddler someday.

 

Before getting yourself a piece of music, get yourself an appropriate violin by either renting or buying. For beginners, Helene Goldnadel recommends to rent in order to test several brands. You must consider the price and the quality of violin. Also, there is a variation according to sizes, arm length and finger length. You could then upgrade the quality of the music by adding accessories as you go on practicing later.

 

Once you have your own violin, learn how to hold it first. If you are a right handed person, the neck of the violin should rest between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand, whereas the chin lies on the chin cup and the body of the violin rests on the shoulder. The bow is held in the right hand with a light but stable grasp that will accommodate a fixed draw but still tolerate complete range of motion. Take note that excessive tightness compromises both the aptitude to perform and the value of the music being executed.

 

Just like with any other instruments, playing violin requires dedication, self-discipline and patience. Thus learning violin music for beginners would require some formal training from experts or even online through the internet. However, make sure that you are dealing with credible tools that can provide the most accurate instructions.

 

There are numerous easy and attractive pieces that are available online for those who aspire to learn how to play the violin, right from the entire beginner's very basic lesson. Some of the famous pieces that you could practice on include Baltimore Belle, My Blue Shoe, Desert Cowboy and Freshtown Rag by Bishop. You could also try Ode to Joy (Beethoven), Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and This Old Man and Swan Lake.

 

Violin music for beginners are so varied, but remember that once you are playing, you should also enjoy as this will reflect the music that you are producing. Your audience will definitely sense your emotion and are usually influenced by it.
