Learning it needs tremendous amount of practice before one can play a decent tone. Even the seasoned violinists need to practice from time to time as means of forwarding their learning.

Music lovers for instance are likely to be inclined in learning how to play different kinds of musical instruments. Violin is among the leading instruments that is wanted by a lot of aspiring musicians. The sound that it produces is serene, soothing and brilliant. But along its nice sound is the very challenging method of playing it. Learning the left hand violin hold is among those things that every player needs to learn properly.

If you are serious about learning, you should be willing to devote some time and effort in studying it. There is no guarantee that you will learn the entire thing immediately. The speed of the study process is dependent to different factors. One of which is the frequency by which you do your study. Below are the basic things you should know about using your left hand in playing.

Posture. If you enroll in a formal institution, one of the primary things that the mentor will hammer into your head is the importance of proper posture. If you do not have this to begin with, you will have a difficult time performing the others. This is also the one that encourages proper breathing so that you remain comfortable while playing.

Ensure that your hand is loose. This encourages flexibility in playing and will allow you to adjust the placement of your fingers better. It has been observed that beginners tend to have their shoulders, arms, elbows and hands too stiff, making it difficult for them to move.

Lift your hands to the fingerboard, still maintaining that loose feel. Once you place your fingers on the strings, grip it with strength. Its difficult to maintain a balance between the fluidity and the strength that you need to maintain on your wrist and fingers. But the more you practice, the more this becomes second nature.

Finger placement. Just like the guitar, one needs to practice proper placement to produce a particular sound. This is extremely difficult for beginners who are still juggling with the reading of notes and shifting of their finger from one position to the next. No matter how difficult, this needs to be learned in order to play a piece.

As you go on with your lesson, you will learn more about the different keys and how to shift from on position to another. As long as you practice the basics well, the variety of movements will come in easier. Just keep in mind that learning all of these may not be easy. There are some who learn faster than the others. There are even those people who attribute it to the length of your fingers. Regardless of the size of your hand or fingers, what matters most in the end is your desire to learn and the amount of time you place in actualizing it.

As long as you have that passion to learn how to play the instrument in you, you can find time to learn it. Do not be afraid if its your first time holding a violin. All the good players started as newbies. They just never gave up and kept on learning.
