How to start playing a violin? (page 1/2)

i) hold the violin between your collarbone and the lower jaw. Next, hold the neck of the violin with your left hand.

ii) Hold the bow with your right hand.

iii) The fingers of the left hand should press down on the string forming a slightly acute angle towards the front. The violin technique numbers the fingers from one to four (the index finger being the first and the little finger being the fourth).

iv) how to hold a bow? The hand holds near the frog (the end part of the bow), the index and second and third fingers rest on the stick while the thumb presses on the underside of the frog. The little finger is slightly spaced from the ring finger but resting on its own finger tip.

v)Now the "bow" arm, which will be your right arm, your right arm is to ensure that the bow remains as upright as possible to form and maintain the right angle to produce a nice tone colour.
