How to Draw Hair for Beginners

The description of How Hair for Beginners

How do you go from listening to violin renditions of your musical favorites to playing them yourself? The answer is, one step at a time! If you want to learn how to play violin, for beginners you just start with the basics.

First, you've got to learn how to hold the bow correctly. It's true that sometimes you'll pluck your strings, which is known as playing pizzicato, and sometimes you'll draw the bow over the strings gently-called arco.

The bow is a rod, and the soft stringy material on it is made from the hairs of a horse tail. The top of the bow is called the tip, the length of the bow is called the stick, and the end where you hold it ends with a screw. There is also a so-called frog at that end, which holds the horses hair; you hold the bow by hooking your thumb under the frog. There is a little notch near the screw for your pinky, and you wrap your other three fingers around it. Now, as soon as you learn how to hold your violin, you'll be ready to make some music!

Learning how to play violin for beginners starts with developing wrist flexibility. Hold your bow vertically and move your arm straight up and down. Then move the bow back and forth, like a windshield wiper. Keep all your fingers, including your pinky, in place while you're doing this so that you strengthen your hand. Practice this for a few minutes before each lesson.

There are two positions best for practicing how to play violin. For beginners, start with learning the guitar position. You cradle the body of your violin in the crook of your right arm. Hold it slanted so that the screw on the end rises to the level of your shoulder. The back of the violin should be flat against your body. You're ready to begin plucking!

You've probably most often seen the shoulder position, where the violin is tucked under the chin. First you should stand with your feet as wide apart as your shoulders. If you prefer, you can sit on the edge of a chair. Your left foot should be turned slightly to the left, and you will carry more of your weight on that foot. With your left hand, grasp the fingerboard where it meets the upper bout and point the end button toward your neck. Turn your head slightly to the left; your jaw sits on the chin rest. The scroll points away from your body, and not downward.

The first time you draw your bow across the strings, place it against the thinnest string-that's the E string-and draw it back and forth, back and forth. Hopefully you've played four notes!
