Step 3. Place your left hand near the tuners on the top of the instrument

Make sure your wrist is straight but not flat. Teachers often say, "Don't play pancake hands! Your wrist must be stiff as a carrot!" Squeeze your fingers and touch the strings. Place the chin rest under your chin and align the violin with your arm. Do not put the tool directly on the arm, hold it slightly behind.

Step 4. Hold the bow

Place your thumb under the silver part. Place your other fingers on the black side of the instrument at the end of the bow, being careful not to touch the pink part. The pink part would be the "dancer", which is located at the upper end of the arch.

Step 5. Grab the bow gently but firmly

Start with Mi, the highest string. Place your bow on the E string and start at the bottom of the bow. Make the bow move slowly downward. Bend your elbow.

Step 6. After you reach the end of the arch, lower your fingers

The key thing is to know where to put your fingers. At this point you should place them at the edge of the bass bar. Move one fingertip down. It should be the right position for the first finger.

Step 9. Put your third finger under the second

Move it down, very little. n that point. The note A plays.

Step 10. Now move to the next string

It would be the second highest. It is called the "A chord". Play it. You should now have all the notes marked: fingerless is an A. The first finger is a B. The second a C and the third a D.

Step 11. The next string is that of the King

Open rope: Re.

First finger: Mi. Second finger: F. Third finger: G.

Step 12. Can you identify a pattern among the notes?

Think about the next note. If you thought about Sol, you guessed it! The notes in the G string in ascending order are: G, A, Si, Do.
