What People Are Saying

I’ve really enjoyed taking private lessons with Antoinette. The private lessons really helped me get a firm grasp of the basics, I’ve really gotten better at playing in the last few months because of these lessons, and I had a lot of fun! Never felt boring or like work. I would highly recommend Music Lessons Academy for players of any experience level and age.

Julia Lorella

Melody is not only a wonderful musician, she’s a true teacher. She is endlessly patient with my daughter and can always find a different way to explain or describe what was needed to be done. She was always encouraging but never fake about praise. I’m a teacher myself, so I recognise what it takes to be a good one–and Melody is not just good, she’s excellent. I’ve never met better.

Why Should You Take Violin Lessons?

Our violin teachers have a lot of expertise with total beginners and know how to guide students through to a professional level. We also have a great group of adult students that have weekly lessons with us.

An instrument that has been admired by many around the globe and across time, the violin is a humble instrument fitted in delivering a variety of beautiful sounds and melodies and many people have taken violin lessons over the ages.

However, it is not the most simple instrument to master. With loads of technical elements, virtuosic study, and physical needs, one must study and practice the instrument to comprehend and surmount its challenges.

If you are curious about violin lessons in the private area of your own home either for a child or as an adult you should consider violin lessons with Music Lessons Academy Australia.

As opposed to keyboard instruments such as piano, string instruments need an excellent ear to deliver good sound. This is because the tone of the sound varies as the musician moves their fingers around the strings. Unlike the guitar, the four major orchestral string instruments do not have frets guiding their finger placement.

Sometimes when learning the violin, beginner students will place ribbons on the different areas of the violin to learn the intervals. However, innumerable musicians, especially those who are very young, learn to improve their ears only with practice and learn to alter the pitch of the note with the position of their fingers. All learning development is unique to how quickly you can learn the techniques of how to play.

As many researchers have shown, “Violins did not evolve; rather, the performance of the violin makers evolved.” The violin seemingly appeared out of nowhere in the mid-1500s in northern Italy. Dissimilar to an instrument like the current day piano, which underwent several advancements, the first impressions of the violin are basically the same as the current-day violin. Changes in the size of sound holes and other physical properties of the violin adjusted depending on the producer and their musical motivations.

Today in 2021, the violin is a significant element of classical music ensembles. The concertmaster, or the head of the violin section (and by default the rest of the orchestra), is a violinist. The violin is also a major element of chamber music literature: string trios (violin, viola, and cello), string quartets (two violins, viola, and cello), and piano duets (in the case of sonatas or as an accompaniment). Many musicians from Beethoven to Stravinsky wrote huge works for chamber music which are still performed and appreciated today by people of all ages. You can find classical songs online to listen to, children can learn a lot from classical music compositions.

If you are looking into picking up music lessons and learning the violin contact us at Music Lessons Academy Australia to find out more details, we have amazing music teachers all around Australia from Sydney to Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth looking to assist pupils who love to play music. We cater private in-home lessons or allow online violin lessons which are especially useful in covid lockdowns when you want to continue learning to play the violin.

Holding The Violin

Rest the violin on your collarbone and support it slightly with the left hand, and the shoulder. Next, gently rest the side of your face on the instrument to add a little stabilizing weight.. Make sure your violin is held parallel to the floor. Because the left hand must move somewhat freely up and down the neck of the violin during performance, it is best if not too much support is required from the left hand. Practicing letting go briefly of the left hand can help ensure that your shoulder collarbone and head are really doing most of the work to support the instrument. Walking around a little while holding the instrument can help train you to be more comfortable. sliding the left hand up and down the neck will help prepare you for the next steps.

Bow Hand Position

Practicing a good bow hold is crucial to good sound production. A good bow hold is controlled, yet flexible. Place your right hand on the bow, with your thumb, slightly curved, gently inside the frog, (the cutout just before the hairs of the bow). Lay the remaining finger over the top of the bow, slightly spread out. Curve the pinky slightly and place it near the end of the bow, on top, in a way that it can control the tilt of the bow. It takes some practice for the pinky to get used to controlling the tilt of the bow, and to be well balanced. The bow hold should never be squeezed. Next, when drawing the bow across the strings, make sure that the shoulder is low and relaxed, and that the joints of the elbow and wrist are interconnected. The bow eventually should feel as an extension of the arm, rather that seperate.
