The violin can be a huge challenge for a beginner to pick up from the start. A smoother road can be created though. There are many ways to avoid having difficulties in learning the instrument but it involves active dedication on the student's part. Below are some suggestions to bear in mind that might result in that.
1. We have to be honest with ourselves. Not everyone will become a famous musician despite all the hard work we might put in. It does not constitute having low aspirations if you do not aim for that, but do not be despondent if global success eludes you. Being the best musician that you can be can still equate to immense satisfaction when learning the violin, despite not achieving star status.
2. Anyone who wishes to obtain results in anything will need to put in the right amount of effort. Learning the violin is no different. If you stick to your practice schedule and are always keen to learn more, eventually you will be able to play most music pieces on the instrument.
3. Check your posture. Other instruments like the guitar might allow players to develop their own playing style. This is not advisable for the violinist. Learn and practice the proper way to hold the instrument and its different parts.
4. It is easy to rely on methods that might promote a faster learning pace, but in return you might rely too much on unorthodox techniques. For example, some students find it difficult to learn proper fingerings since the violin neck is unmarked. Thus, they put markers to help them remember. Some of them are able to do without the markers, but many actually become lazier and never do. Avoid the same mistakes.
5. Proper maintenance and care of your violin and accessories are equally important. They can help to make learning easier and smoother. A poorly maintained violin might also lead to bad techniques developing.
6. The most important virtue to have is being positive and not giving up when the going get tough. The latter can occur quite frequently when it comes to this four stringed beauty. But the ones who finally succeed are often those who persevered and practiced endlessly.
It is rare to have a perfect journey throughout life. Certainly, one cannot expect to be able to master the violin in a few short months. The tips above should help any student to keep things in perspective and minds focused. It is hoped that eventually every beginner will be able to attain skill levels that they are happy with. - 20760
