How to learn to read music on violin

If you want to play violin well, you first need to learn how to read violin music. If you can't even read music, then you can't play violin.

1. Remember four strings of violin. When headstock goes up, from left to right they are called G, D, A and E. (Just memorize, easy to remember anyway)

Second, memorize number of each finger (for most right-handers, this is left hand) to understand fingerings marked on piano score. (Rule: When palm is pointing towards itself, thumb does not count (the thumb is not used to press string), and number from left to right is 1--4) 0: The finger does not press string, which is usually called empty string. 1: Press string with your index finger while other three fingers on same string do not touch string. 2: The middle finger can press string, and index finger can also press string. The ring finger and little finger on same string should never touch string. 3: The ring finger presses string, index and middle fingers can also press string, and little finger on same string cannot touch string. 4: When little finger presses a string, other three fingers on same string can be pressed.

Now let's look at piano. First figure out appropriate relationship between fingers and score, and don't worry about intonation just yet. Regardless of tonality in score or number of digits # and b, corresponding relationship between position of each note and fingers is fixed. For example: if you see a note on third line, press A string with 1 finger; if you see a note on fifth line, press E string with 1 finger. The height of 4 fingers on each string is same as height of next string. If you don't want to use 4 fingers, you can switch to next string to pull an empty string.

Once you know which finger to use for which note and which string to place it on, you can look at bitmap. The bitmap shows correct position of each finger on each string. Only with exact position can tone be accurate. Just remember C major raster (there is no # and b on staff), when you meet a staff with #, look at which line # is on, and move corresponding finger in your direction. One frame, when meeting with number b, move one frame towards headstock.

Which string should be played in violin notation

◆The violin is a four-string bowed instrument with GDAE pitch from low to high, respectively, four strings are also called GDAE strings. Roll call in key of C: 5 (bass) 2 6 3 (treble). The intervals between any two adjacent strings are five degrees apart, from which you can deduce position of all scales on each string. Basically, bass 567 and midrange 1 are G, 2345 are D, 67 and treble 12 are A, and treble 4 and above are E. As shown in picture:

◆If you are using numbered notation for playing or learning, you should start with key of C. The position of its roll name on strings is exactly same as in picture above. It is enough to distinguish between bass, mid, treble and octave treble. After mastering C key, it is easier to learn other keys.

◆Accent: The high and low levels marked in picture above are relative. In some numbered notation, entire range is often raised or lowered by one octave, so range should be chosen according to situation.
