How to learn violin for the first time

Holding the bow:

The right hand should hold the bow with the tip of the thumb close to the spiral sleeve (the root of the bow), and the other fingers holding the bow shaft so that the back of the hand forms a natural curve. The fingers need to be softly curved.

The shaft of the bow is located at the end of the index, middle, and ring fingers (i.e., the ends of the fingers), with the thumb opposite the middle finger, and the tip of the little finger, resting comfortably on the shaft, so it can be easily adapted to the needs of the bow, and moved forward or backward (forward for the upbow, and backward for the downbow). Between the four fingers, slightly close together, not separate, otherwise it looks clumsy and ungainly.

Bowing:

The ability of a good player to produce a wide variety of sounds on the violin depends, as far as bowing is concerned, on the different combinations of the speed of the bow, the pressure of the bow on the strings, and the point of contact of the bow with the strings. There are many different bowing techniques on the violin, but the main ones are as follows:

①Split bow: one bow plays one tone, and the tone should be played cleanly and clearly;

②Continuous bow: one bow plays a lot of tones, which is one of the most commonly used bowing techniques in a lot of music;

③Staccato bow: the tone is broken between the tones;

④Hopping bow: the hairs of the bow leave the strings.

4) The bow is the most basic type of bowing technique. These four types of bowing are the most basic, in the middle of the 20th century, the continuous bowing, that is, in a bow in rapid succession to play a number of tones and tones are broken between the tones, is regarded as a masterpiece, and then appeared the "natural bow jumping", that is, the bow hairs in the strings, but sounds or looks like jumping bow. Therefore, people call the art of violin playing "the art of bowing".

Intonation:

The pitch of a song or an instrument that matches the pitch of a fixed system is called intonation. Some instruments are built or tuned with pitch requirements. Intonation is addressed at all times during the singing and playing of an instrument through the control of the singer and the player. Intonation depends on a keen sense of hearing, a good instrument, excellent technique and a suitable performance environment.

The physical structure of the instrument, the position of the sound hole, tension changes and air humidity, including the coordination of the various parts of the instrument. All of them are related to the intonation. In the case of stringed instruments, prolonged playing and rising temperatures make the strings loose, so the outstanding problem of stringed instrument intonation is how to correct the low.

Wind instruments, although the rising temperature makes the tube slightly elongated, but at the same time the air pressure is lowered, the speed of sound increases, the frequency also increases (according to the actual test, the temperature rises 10 ℃ can make the wind instruments pronounced 3 minutes higher), so the wind instruments is how to correct the outstanding problem of pitch.

Singing and string instruments, wind instruments, when accompanied by the piano, the average law as a criterion; but because the average law of many intervals does not sound strictly concordant, so in solo, solo, repeat, repeat, often need to deviate from the average law and tend to the pure law or five degrees of the law of the phase, to meet the requirements of the pitch.

Levels:

Tones with any of the seven singing names (do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si) or tonal names (C, D, E, F, G, A, B), with several different pitches for each level, differentiated by change of pitch notation, and with the interrelationships of the various levels as the basis for all pitch relationships in music.

Vibrato:

Vibrato is one of the most expressive techniques mastered by violin, erhu, guitar and other string players. A proper vibrato in the right place in a phrase will make it sound much more lively than a phrase without vibrato.

Vibrato is a very expressive violin technique that can be used to express every note or phrase in a variety of styles and characteristics. The main point of vibrato is to find the optimal movement of the hand, and to use the speed and width of the vibrato to create a unique style and character for each phrase.

Elbow arm vibrato and wrist vibrato, practice both. Choose the speed and width of vibrato that best expresses the character of the music.

When you vibrate your wrist back and forth, you drive the joints of your fingers, and the touch points of your fingers should not be shifted with the vibration of your wrist. When practicing wrist vibrato, start with the third finger. This is because kneading with the third finger makes the motion more relaxed, and then you can practice the second and first fingers.

And when practicing the fourth finger, you can also put the third finger right next to the fourth finger to help with the vibrato. This practice will make the vibrato more comfortable. On the basis of wrist vibrato practice, you can also gradually learn and familiarize yourself with arm vibrato and finger vibrato. The goal is to enrich the expressiveness of your playing and to adapt it to a variety of strengths and moods.

Handle position:

The position of the fingers of the left hand on the fingerboard is called the handle. The grip near the headstock is the low grip, and the grip near the horse is the high grip. Changing from one grip to another is called shifting. There are many ways to change grips, such as empty string change, same finger change, different finger change, and overtone change.

The production of non-playable glissandos during shifting is a sign of poor technique training. In some cases, the glissando can make the connection between notes more varied, adding a graceful transition. Especially when used in conjunction with a handle change, it is an expressive instrument.

Techniques for both hands:

Techniques for the left hand of the violin: scales, double stops, handle changes, vibrato, overtones, left hand pizzicato.

Right hand techniques are: legato, split bow, staccato, staccato bow, jump bow, wave bow, stroke, broken bow, right hand pizzicato.

Note: Always loosen the bow when you are not playing the violin. Prolonged tightening will shorten its life.

Instrumental Classification:

It is important to note that the violin is not a good instrument. p>Instrumental classification:

The violin is divided into two kinds of electronic violins and xylophones, both of which have very different principles of sound production.

The main difference between the electronic violin and the common violin is that the electronic violin does not use a *** sound box, unlike the common violin, through the sound post to drive the air inside the *** sound box vibration sound, so the string vibration to rely on the strings of the root of the lower part of the several magnetic pickups (like an electric guitar) pick up, and then amplified through the sound. Headphones can also be used, so you can practice without disturbing others.

So the ****ing sound box on an electric violin is just a showpiece. An electric violin can be played without being plugged in, but that sound doesn't sound like a violin at all, and it's extremely low, like a mosquito squawking.

Many of the larger stores are selling electronic violin, one is to have their own *** sound body, and the same shape as the ordinary violin, but more than one pickup, similar to the guitar family in the box; there is also a kind of electronic tuning *** sound, no *** sound body, it looks like "hollow" kind of, through electronic circuitry to the weak vibration of the sound, the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the sound of the violin is a very small sound like mosquitoes. Through the electronic circuit to pick up the weak vibration amplification and tuning.
