A lot of people fancy the thought of learning how to play the violin. But when it comes to devoting time to learn the craft, only few shows enough discipline to do some practice. No matter how talented you are, practice is very important to hone your skills. Its by constantly doing it that you get to learn more of it.

Violin hand posture is a basic skills that everyone who wish to play it should spend time learning. It is a basic and a vital factor in producing sound.

In fact, what you need is the contrary. The basics are the foundation. Without learning about it, you cannot expect to produce all those wonderful pieces that you hear today. Those who are considered as talented violinists spent enormous time and effort practicing their skills. It did not just dawn on them. They worked hard for it. Here are some importance of the right hand positioning when playing the instrument.

Lesser strain on the person holding it. For first timers, it is natural to experience strain in the wrist, shoulder, arm and neck when and after holding the violin for a long time. It is a natural effect if you are not used to it. But if you position your fingers right, the wrist and the arm will follow, making it easier for you to do some movements.

Better sounds. The pressure that you apply on the strings of the violin as you hold them down can vary depending on the note. But they are all held own by the position of your fingers. The better the position is, the better the pressure is placed on them, making more quality sounds.

More comfort. As mentioned, it all starts with the right posture of your fingers. The rest will follow after. This facilitates easier movement, this bringing in more comfort on your part. Whether you are sitting down or standing up while playing it, you will have to make sure that your arms are positioned right.

The more you practice it, the easier it becomes. They say that practicing makes perfect. Even if some argues that there is no such thing as perfection, it is fine to assume that somehow, the more you master a skill, the more it becomes a second nature to you.

Standard procedure. Just like how you follow rules and regulations inside a company setting, you also get to follow protocols when playing the violin. Before you get to be rewarded with a good sound, you will need to place your fingers on the instrument first.

There is no shortcut to learning a new craft. No matter how skilled, if you do not couple it with the effort to do the actual thing, you will never know if it works. Start from the basics. All the great ones did. There is no reason why you should believe the easier way. No such thing exist.
