Tuning (tuning) Violin

@ Biola be in tala (distem) with the help of keyboard psr 2100 (or other type).

@ Nada G (G strings) on the violin should sound the same sound with the tone G as shown on the keyboard. This applies to the three other strings (D, A and E).

@ Tuning peg in the round (Figure 1) forward: to raise the tone (tighten the strings), back: to lower the tone (loosen the strings).

@ Tighten the tuning peg with a given bit of pressure (boost into), so that is not easy to loose.

@ Be careful when turning the tuning peg, especially for the violin that cost under 1 million (personal experience, as my own violin), tuning peg is easily broken, due to the quality of the wood used is less well (Figure 2). But can be replaced, because these parts are sold in music stores.

* Mechanical tuning the violin tuning different techniques on the guitar. Guitar using a system like bolts and nuts, while the violin, no.

@ So, on violin, tuning pegs tightened slowly, one after the other as a whole, do not step on the gas only play on one string only directly to the desired tone.

Overall mean:

While turning the tuning peg, did play "a little" for "little" at all tuning peg.
Starting from G strings (for example): turn "a little", then following (for example) the E string is also "a bit", and so on until it reaches the appropriate tuning.
Avoid playing / tuning peg tightening (tuning) directly to achieve the right tone for the strings alone, or. . .
Avoid tightening the strings only (eg only G strings) until it reaches the actual tone (tone G). This can cause your violin strings break, especially if the quality of the strings arguably ugly. Not that quality strings can be treated arbitrarily
* Caption "bit" by "a little" = distance between the round 1 s / d 5 milli.

@ Sometimes, tune using the tuning peg will instantly get the right sound / fit, if not, then the tuning is done by using the fine tuning (Figure 3).

@ Fine tunging in turn slowly to the right to raise the tone or to the left to lower the tone so that it can generate the appropriate tuning.

@ For accurate tuning, you should use digital tuning tools (digital tuner) as shown below. There are many types of digital tuner, if our ears are "used to", then we can use a violin pitch pipe.

Having successfully mastered the basic position completely and then starting from basic training to play the violin. How to do it? Not difficult! At first exercise starts from just swipe string A. A string is on the order of 2 after the E string, seen from the G string is on the order of 3. Can be seen from the example image A string A string violin image below.
Exercise is done by swiping the A string repeatedly.
Duration of exercise performed in the early 15 minutes every day. (This exercise can be added according to the duration of the ability of each individual)
Do this exercise to the beat:

Beginners: Learn Violin [Part 1]

Beginners: Learn Violin [Part 1]

After nearly a year due to busy vacuum that is not clear, finally today I try to write how to learn for beginners Hopefully this article easy to understand, because I am still a beginner. Not much I can share, most of it is my experience for learning to play this instrument. So, let's check it out!!!

Well, for us newbies (which was still passionate not want to immediately clear kayak champion Vanessa Mae aunt or grandmother or aunt Ida Mindelson Sarah Cheng Itzhak Perlman or grandfather or uncle David Garret, etc. .. you name it) a lot of things we need to prepare actually. But the main thing is:

1. COMMITMENT

Yups, this is the first one that needs to be emphasized. I personally fail miserably if asked commitment issues. Understandably many activities not obvious * reasons.

There is a great quote from my teacher's brother,

"Have you practice 15 minutes today?"



Cuman doang 15 minutes per day is required of us to exercise. Originally there was a 15 minute commitment certainly not how (usually bablas until 1 hour). It was said that the fingers we also need to get used to playing on the strings so that they can remember which position (kinda weird, but it makes sense koq).

2. BREATH

Experience: umpteenth day, in the same training session teaching brother,

Instructor's brother: "Uh ... do not hold her breath!"

Me: "He? Time anyway? "

Tuhkan, it's just learning the frictional do re mi, until I Lupas breath. It turns out there is its effect on the sound we produce when we swipe the violin strings. So, it is natural and common to many beginners, do not know because the strings are too serious or fear it would break up the mental eye to stiff then forget breath. Either one, we have to keep breathing normally so that we are more comfortable right hand swung his bow (not sure? Try to check once in a while fitting more exercise)
3. LEARN TO READ NOT BEAM

This is very important. Learn to read ... not only do re mi, but also must be able to read AB C. Many beginners are always wondering,

Why must learn musical notes? make complicated tau ....

In the end, MALASSS .. Well anyway I like dah, this is actually mandatory if we want more advance again to play the violin. Seriously, these are the basics that should be dominated if you want to really master the instrument. Not only in violin tablets, all musical instruments also have the actual musical notes, just have not all want to learn.

Then, if do not want to learn musical notes, how to read sheet music with story-sprouts sprouts are so complicated roost there? Weve own company can do re mi? Not right, must know first if in a line so that its tone what? Then the tone is basically what? Should know first ...

If we only know the do re mi, chances are we one of the fundamental tone of 100%

Just imagine, when we again accompany a singer, he pulled his tone of D = do, then because we've felt good at wearing feeling, we accompanied the singer, and it turns out we pulled it in C = do. It's not funny, the singer had his neck until the shake-goyangin let down 1 tone or even her maksain in D = do, and we are in the C = do. Get ready to throw in the distinguished audience.

Well, three things above are mandatory alias mandatory for us before we begin to learn to master violinist. If you've been able to read musical notes, the next step would have been easy. Just adjust the position of the fingers and please disenarnya swipe.

Next part, is learning swipe. But remember still have to learn to read musical notes used in the beginning, though not complicated in the next step.

Well, keep bowing then
