Importance Of The Appropriate Violin Hand Posture

By Aimee Schwartz


Listening and appreciating great music is one. Playing the sound ourselves is an all new different story. We do not need to learn how to play instruments in order to admire a good song. Those who go beyond just admiration and decide to learn how to produce their own are the very persons who spend time studying instruments and how to use them.

Practice demands time and effort. If you cannot give this, then you cannot maximize your learning. Violin is among those instruments that is a real challenge. From the basics of violin hand posture to the right angling of the arm, it all takes effort to master. These fundamental things are needed for they are the starting point of the process.

Without the basics, you cannot hope to proceed with the advance. All of those seasoned violinist in our time have their own share of intense training. And look at where it brought them. Its not just about the skill, for you can learn this over time. Its more like the passion and the dedication to learn. Hand positioning is an important start. Here are some reasons behind it.

It reduces strain. For first time players, long hours of playing the instrument may cause strain on your wrist, arm, and neck. This is natural and you are not the only one who has experienced this. However, you can do something on your end to reduce the strain. By the proper hand position, there will be enough distribution of pressure on your fingers, making it easier to move them around.

It makes better sounds. Perhaps the most obvious on this list is the fact that it is required to produce the sound that you need. Unless you follow the right positioning, you will not be able to produce a good one. There is no exemption to this factor. As a stringed instrument, the violin needs the right finger position to produce a desired sound.

It gives more comfort. This is apparent as you go along with your practice. With the reduce strain, you will also not have a very hard time moving your whole body along with your arm movement. The pain may happen at first. As you get the hold of it, you become more comfortable.

Easier playing. Even the most seasoned musicians take some time to practice. This is not just because they want to rehearse. Its more like a need. The more they spend time with their instruments, the more they get used to it, paving the way to an easier mode of playing. This is not always a guarantee though. But those who persevered can attest to this matter.

Standard practice. Whether you are learning to play the violin for fun or for a potential career, you will need the basics. There is no one who is exempted to the rule. Hand posture, being among the basics is a must.

Those who say that learning the violin is easy has either not tried it himself or is a genius who devotes his time practicing. You can learn it. But you have to pay the price needed for it. Forget about the shortcut method. It does not exist.Instead, think about the scheduling and stick to it. It will be hard at first. You are not alone in the sentiment. A lot of learners feel the same. The difference of those who succeeded is the dedication they placed on learning.
