Precise Left Hand Violin Hold

By Joanna Walsh


In order to create the most accurately beautiful hymns in a violin, the player needs to know how to position the hands especially on the left side where the instrument is held. This is one of the fundamental skills that a learner should start with. In addition, it is also important to look at the form of the body and the posture while playing it.

The very first thing a music instructor considers, aside from your interest in learning, is your hand and fingers coordination. This is enhanced through warm up exercises before your session officially begins. Proper left hand violin hold is observed at all times and this is the very first thing that you need to take note of. Posture is another thing. You can either just stand or sit straight and later on learn to dance with the tune you make. For all you know, you can be like Lindsey Sterling or even better.

This instrument is one of the hardest string instruments to play. It has no frets that are the basis for the keys. And it will be difficult to form the chords with the fingers. In addition, it is also hard for a beginner to hit the note while not straining too much from holding those strings.

In order for you you to learn quicker, you can put tapes to the fingerboard as indication of the keys. This way, you can locate the note more easily. This is a helpful stepping stone until you have familiarized all the chords. But since you still are not that knowledgeable about the keys, frets, and chords, it is better that your teacher or instructor will be the one to put those tapes in their accurate place.

It is also important that you know exactly how to stand or sit while playing. In other words, posture is an important consideration. Your music instructor will guide you in making the right posture while positioning the left hand properly.

Position the finger at the back of the fingerboard and its tip must be in appropriate level with the top of the board. Hold still and tight but at the same time, in a relaxed manner. Your wrist must be straight and the arm positioned right under the board. Again, relax and try not to exert too much effort.

It is okay if you still cannot produce the perfect sound. You are still starting anyway. So it is fine if you stop from one chord to another while you play a simple musical piece for beginners. Do not rush and there is no reason to pressure yourself. Learning music is not about pressuring yourself. It is more about having fun.

And your shoulder has to be relaxed but at the same time, can support the weight of the violin while holding that posture and the hand, arm, and fingers positions. A nice tip is watching video clips of violinists playing it the right way. Observe carefully the movements of your favorite musician.

Becoming one of the most notable musicians of the modern times suggests a great deal of patience. In the middle of the road there could be disappointments and frustrations. But you will see the fruits of your hard work unraveling in front of you once you get the chance to play in front of the crowd finally.
