What People Are Saying

I’ve really enjoyed taking private lessons with Antoinette. The private lessons really helped me get a firm grasp of the basics, I’ve really gotten better at playing in the last few months because of these lessons, and I had a lot of fun! Never felt boring or like work. I would highly recommend Music Lessons Academy for players of any experience level and age.

Julia Lorella

Melody is not only a wonderful musician, she’s a true teacher. She is endlessly patient with my daughter and can always find a different way to explain or describe what was needed to be done. She was always encouraging but never fake about praise. I’m a teacher myself, so I recognise what it takes to be a good one–and Melody is not just good, she’s excellent. I’ve never met better.

Why Should You Take Violin Lessons?

Our instructors have a lot of knowledge with total beginners and know how to guide them through to an advanced level. We also have a big group of adult students that enjoy weekly lessons with us.

An instrument that has been embraced by many around the globe and across time, the violin is a modest instrument capable of delivering a range of beautiful sounds and melodies and many people have taken violin lessons over the years.

However, it is not the most straightforward instrument to master. With plenty of technical requirements, virtuosic literature, and physical needs, one must prepare and practice the instrument to understand and overcome its challenges.

If you are curious about violin lessons in the private area of your own home either for a child or as an adult you should take violin lessons with Music Lessons Academy Australia.

Unlike keyboard instruments such as piano, string instruments require an excellent ear to produce good sound. This is because the pitch of the sound varies as the musician slides her fingers along the strings. Unlike the guitar, the four major orchestral string instruments do not have frets.

Sometimes when studying the instrument, beginner students will place ribbons on the different positions of the violin to learn the intervals. However, countless musicians, especially those who are very young, learn to develop their ears solely with practice and learn to adjust the pitch of the note with the position of their fingers. All learning progress is individual to how quickly you can learn the techniques of how to play.

As many studies have shown, “Violins did not evolve; rather, the behaviour of the violin makers evolved.” The violin apparently appeared out of nowhere in the mid-1500s in northern Italy. Unlike an instrument like the modern piano, which endured several developments, the first appearances of the violin are essentially the same as the modern-day violin. Changes in the size of sound holes and other physical properties of the violin changed depending on the producer and their musical motivations.

Today in 2021, the violin is a major element of classical music ensembles. The concertmaster, or the leader of the violin section (and by default the rest of the orchestra), is a violinist. The violin is also a major component of chamber music literature: string trios (violin, viola, and cello), string quartets (two violins, viola, and cello), and piano duets (in the case of sonatas or as an accompaniment). Many musicians from Beethoven to Stravinsky wrote huge works for chamber music which are still played and enjoyed today by people of all ages. You can find classical songs online to listen to, young people can learn a lot from classical music compositions.

If you are looking into picking up music lessons and learning the violin contact us at Music Lessons Academy Australia to find out more details, we have incredible music teachers all around Australia from Sydney to Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth looking to assist students who love to play music. We cater private in-home lessons or offer online violin lessons which are especially useful in covid lockdowns when you want to continue learning to play the violin.

Holding The Violin

Rest the violin on your collarbone and support it slightly with the left hand, and the shoulder. Next, gently rest the side of your face on the instrument to add a little stabilizing weight.. Make sure your violin is held parallel to the floor. Because the left hand must move somewhat freely up and down the neck of the violin during performance, it is best if not too much support is required from the left hand. Practicing letting go briefly of the left hand can help ensure that your shoulder collarbone and head are really doing most of the work to support the instrument. Walking around a little while holding the instrument can help train you to be more comfortable. sliding the left hand up and down the neck will help prepare you for the next steps.

Bow Hand Position

Practicing a good bow hold is crucial to good sound production. A good bow hold is controlled, yet flexible. Place your right hand on the bow, with your thumb, slightly curved, gently inside the frog, (the cutout just before the hairs of the bow). Lay the remaining finger over the top of the bow, slightly spread out. Curve the pinky slightly and place it near the end of the bow, on top, in a way that it can control the tilt of the bow. It takes some practice for the pinky to get used to controlling the tilt of the bow, and to be well balanced. The bow hold should never be squeezed. Next, when drawing the bow across the strings, make sure that the shoulder is low and relaxed, and that the joints of the elbow and wrist are interconnected. The bow eventually should feel as an extension of the arm, rather that seperate.
