Looking for Violin lessons in Ballarat?
Violin is often the star in many occasions due to its pitch and expressive nature. It sings the melody so well like a beautiful soprano , sweet as honey.
With its capacity of expressiveness and often being a leading role in performance violin has been very popular in the history of of music naming classical, folk, pop or even jazz. If you are the queen or king of melody this is the instrument for you to speak .
It may take a while learning the necessary skills before you start to sound good on the violin. Therefore I will guide you step by step learning the posture and technique required. Besides perseverance playing violin also requires good listening skills because there is no marked frets on the fingerboard as for the guitar . A violin player therefore needs to decide the pitch of notes according to their own aural perception. Playing the violin requires eye and hand / arm co-ordination too.
