i'm having my first violin lesson yesterday and i was taught to play on all the open strings.but i was curious.how do they make the other tone such as F,B,Cetc. i only know a bit.that's to press the strings one different length.but how can it sound exactly the note u wanna play????

When you 'stop' the string with your finger to create another different note, have to listen to very carefully. In time your ears will (or should) develop enough sensitivity to the intonation and your hand will also develop a sort of memory for the where notes are on the fingerboard, but it takes a LOT of practice and many years, not just a few lessons.

Best advice I can give, BE PATIENT

be extremly patient. All violinists play out of tune when they first do this.

Roughly about one inch away on the D string, and you will get E, another inch, another tone F#. Or 1 1/2 inch away, you get F natural. Generally you move your fingers an inch for a tone and 1/2 inch for semitones. Well, at least that's how I remember where to put my fingers,

this sounds very useful to me.thanks.ok, i'll remember it, one inch for a tone and half inch for a semitone.but i saw one violin wif a white line at the finger board, what's that for?

It is roughly an inch for a tone etc, each individual violin differs slightly. The lines are for beginners, they are there to show you where to put your fingers on the finger board.

oic.

You have to be vey paient while playing the violin.

my fingers never seem to be in the right place, im always sharp or flat!

Patience Natalie! Patience! It'll come, it just takes time, and if you are not sure play with a piano and adjust your fingers when they are sharp or flat.

oh ya, but i'm really a bit impatient, i can wait for my next lesson, since i wan to move faster to play good songs.but one thing i found, my posture make mefeel bad while playing violin, the posture, my left hadn really feel like crapomed after i put down the violin.for the last lesson not, but for the leson that i've attrended lately i do.dunno y, is my posture wrong that causes this side effect?

When I sorted out my posture I found it a bit uncomfortable, but not I'm fine, it feels natural. Just make sure that your feet are about a shoulders width apart, you aren't slouching, your back is straight, and your wrist holding the violin is collapsed. You do NOT want to collapse your wrist, and if you are make sure you break the habbit otherwise you will find playing very difficult when you get more advanced.

yeappy, i was finally taught to use the left hand today!!!!!!!!!!yes!!!!!!!!!!!so happy.finlally my teacher taught me that, i also got my music stand today, also happy for that.but i wonder y my music stand can't get it higher since my teacher's seems can be move higer, i oredi try, but it seems that it's the maksi mum height oredi, is there some music stand that can only reaches certain height, and the maksimum height is still short.??
