A violin is a musical instrument with strings square measure hitched to standardization pegs and to an appendage which passes over a bridge command in situ by the pressure of the strings. The bridge then transmits the strings’ vibrations to the resonator that is made of pine and amplifies the sound.

Within the instrument, at a lower place, the treble foot of the bridge and impacted between the string belly and back is the sound post. The sound post is a skinny stick of pine that transmits the string vibrations to the instrument’s back, contributing to the characteristic string tone. The belly is supported by the bass bar, a slim wood bar running lengthwise and tapering into the belly. It additionally contributes to the resonance of the instrument.

ADULT VIOLIN LESSONS

Am I too old to learn the violin?

Learning violin is usually misunderstood to be for the youngsters only. However, this is untrue as adults can actually learn faster than children! Adults can pick things up quickly and easily when they are determined and interested whereas children usually learn at a slower pace.

Adults typically complain of getting an excessive amount of work and not enough time to practice. However, if one practices the correct approach systematically, time wouldn’t be a problem. Quality matters, not the amount!

In fact, adult students are being more perceptive and knowing the worth of their time. Additionally, adult students’ learning is attributable to their own needs, unlike children who may not be as aware of their needs yet.

Adults can learn faster than kids because they have more experience with the subject material that will be covered in your lessons (and maybe even some tips) by our violin professionals. In addition, if you approach violin learning systemically then time would not matter; every minute spent practicing makes one closer towards achieving success in violin playing.

 

Our passionate strings professionals will ensure each lesson attended is inspiring and enjoyable!
