Basic Challenges Related To Left Hand Violin Hold

By Beryl Dalton


You cannot expect to be good at something if you do not show any interest or effort to learn it. Not all are gifted with the same skills. There are those who are exceptionally skilled in music while some just don't see themselves holding even one instrument. Whatever your gift is, you have to nurture and make sure that you share it with other people.

Music lovers for instance are likely to be inclined in learning how to play different kinds of musical instruments. Violin is among the leading instruments that is wanted by a lot of aspiring musicians. The sound that it produces is serene, soothing and brilliant. But along its nice sound is the very challenging method of playing it. Learning the left hand violin hold is among those things that every player needs to learn properly.

If you are serious about learning, you should be willing to devote some time and effort in studying it. There is no guarantee that you will learn the entire thing immediately. The speed of the study process is dependent to different factors. One of which is the frequency by which you do your study. Below are the basic things you should know about using your left hand in playing.

Correct posture. There is no substitute to a correct posture. While you can see other people who play the violin well and do not manifest those strict rules in posture, as a beginner, you should learn what is appropriate or not. This will help facilitate the proper breathing and the easier means of moving your arms and wrist.

Flexibility of the hands. It has been a common issue for beginners to have stiff hands. This is understandable given that they are not yet well versed on how to handle the instrument with ease. The more you do it though, the easier it becomes.

Lift your hands to the fingerboard, still maintaining that loose feel. Once you place your fingers on the strings, grip it with strength. Its difficult to maintain a balance between the fluidity and the strength that you need to maintain on your wrist and fingers. But the more you practice, the more this becomes second nature.

Finger placement. Just like the guitar, one needs to practice proper placement to produce a particular sound. This is extremely difficult for beginners who are still juggling with the reading of notes and shifting of their finger from one position to the next. No matter how difficult, this needs to be learned in order to play a piece.

Some say that formal lesson with a teacher is the best option. Others want to save themselves from the instructor fee and study on their own. Both works fine. We have violinists nowadays who show great skill out from these modes of learning. You can do it as well. Its a matter of your preference.

Not all people have passion for learning an instrument. If you have it in you, do not let it go. Act on your passion and spend time enhancing your skills. You might be surprised by how good you are once you commit to practice.
