By Beryl Dalton


Passion is something that cannot be bought. But if you work on it well, you can even make money out of it. This does not mean though that it comes automatically. You have to pay effort and time to see your passion come to fruition. If you only keep on thinking about it, then it will never prosper. Acting on it is more important.

Those who have a passion for music are likely to love the idea of learning how to play musical instruments as well. If they do, then they can create their very own compositions. The question of how to hold a violin properly is something that is often heard from those who are interested in learning how to play the instrument. If you are among those people, then here are some tips that you can use once you start your lessons.

Posture is a primary concern. Regardless of what instrument, there is a certain posture that you need to follow. Doing so will make it easier for you to play and will prevent the discomfort that you will feel especially if it is your first time playing it. You can play the violin either by sitting down or standing up. Whatever your position, you need to be sure that you have your back straight and your feet flat on the ground.

Right positioning of the instrument has to be followed. This is where you place the broader side of the violin on your collarbone and support the other side with your left hand. This is vital in order to strike a balance when holding it.

Angle your head right so that your chin secures the violin in place. It is expected that you will be moving from time to time. In this case, you will have need to ensure that the instrument does not move away from its secure position. Right angling of your head and positioning of your chin is a necessity to keep it in place.

Fourth, position your hand right. This is very important on the entire process that you hold the instruments. Proper positioning of the hands is also vital when striking different notes using your fingers. It will determine the ease and comfort that you will feel.

Balance your fingers and wrist. They are connected to each other and must therefore move in synchrony. This is a real challenge given that you need to observe flexibility on your wrist and strength on your finger. The more you practice, the easier this balance becomes. The next thing you know, it comes in naturally.

Practice constantly. Lastly, practice constantly. Ideally, it would be great if you master first the holding of the instrument prior to the playing. Doing so will make your practice smoother. Also, it will reduce the discomfort that you may feel once you start to play a sound.

Be honest with yourself and know what your passion is. For some it will come easy. For others it needs more time of meditation. Once you realize it, be ready to act on it.
