My dream as a child was to learn how to play the violin. Even now, as I get older I still do want to learn it, and I think a lot of people also hold a dream such as this to be able to learn how to play the violin. The violin is considered one of the most soulful instruments to make music. There are a lot of means to learn how to play one; you can take your beginners lessons by enrolling yourself into a formal school, or hire a private tutor or even just learning online.
For a beginner’s violin lesson, one should consider your resources such as your time, your experience and know your pace as a player. The violin is not an easy instrument to play. It may take a lot of your time and your patience. This requires a lot of practice for you to be able to master the art and the skill of playing the violin.
If you do not have enough financial resources to take up your dream, you need not give it up. There are other resources you can avail to have your dream come true. There are online violin classes being offered right now.
You can learn through different videos and audio of different violinist who can help you jump start your lessons in playing the violin. They will give you tips on the basics and a step by step instruction so you have more idea on what to do and how to do it.
If buying your own violin instrument is too much for you, you can rent one. It is much cheaper, and you do not have to actually have to take care of it after using because the shop can maintain its condition, you just have to make sure that you take care of it when you are the one using it.
And if you pursue the online learning and teaching yourself you can have a digital tuner. This will tremendously help you in your tuning the violin and help you make beautiful music.
To begin with your lessons (after acquiring the necessary instruments) you could begin your lessons by knowing the correct and proper posture when playing the violin and the correct way of holding both the bow and the violin. This is crucial because when you know how to do these things correctly you are able to lessen the cramps and pains most beginners would complain about. At first, this may be awkward for you to perform but with practice, this may come out as natural for you.
You can start by plucking the strings instead of using the bow, so you know what the strings should sound like. You can set the pace when you want to when you are using online or tutoring yourself, you are not pressured to show up at practice, but you have to be disciplined also when teaching yourself because this calls for patience and diligence to succeed in learning how to play the violin.
