Why Proper Violin Hand Posture Is Necessary

By Aimee Schwartz


A lot of people fancy the thought of learning how to play the violin. But when it comes to devoting time to learn the craft, only few shows enough discipline to do some practice. No matter how talented you are, practice is very important to hone your skills. Its by constantly doing it that you get to learn more of it.

Violin is among the top picks. Aside from its pure and solemn appeal, its also very portable. You can carry it with you without worrying so much of the hassle. Violin hand posture is a basic skills that everyone who wish to play it should spend time learning. It is a basic and a vital factor in producing sound.

This is why music instructors are very keen in making sure that their instructions are followed well. One can have the best position with this body while holding the instrument. But without the appropriate posture for the fingers, the desired sound cannot be produced. Here are some common reasons why it is needed.

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.

Increased comfort. Once your arm is well positioned and the violin is kept on its right angle, moving along with it becomes easier. You do not have to suffer from the stiff feeling you get every time you make some move. The coordination of your body will become more natural.

The more you practice it, the easier it becomes. They say that practicing makes perfect. Even if some argues that there is no such thing as perfection, it is fine to assume that somehow, the more you master a skill, the more it becomes a second nature to you.

It is a standard. Of course, we can call it as a protocol. You can be as creative as you can. You can play the instrument while standing or sitting down. But one thing that you cannot deviate from is the role of your fingers when playing it. If there is a basic skill you have to work hard at, it will be this.

It is either you do it or you do not. There is no maybe. If you want to learn how to play it, so be it. But be sure that you are willing to commit. It might help if you take time to look at your motivations. A lot of times, your motivation will spell out the amount of effort that you place on the craft.
