The violin has been around since the 16th century at the very least. Later on, the cello and viola also evolved out of modifications to the violin. Today musicians say that these instruments are related as they are all members of the string family. String family instruments are named for the strings stretched across the instrument’s body. Musicians then make the sound by drawing a bow across these strings.

There are two main types of violins, the acoustic violin and the electric violin. The acoustic violin is an instrument with a wooden body. It resembles the classical violin. The electric violin looks quite different. The body of the electric violin is hollow and like an electric guitar, it requires an electrical amp to make sounds. If you aren’t sure which violin is the best fit for you, bring this up with your violin teacher.

Like other musical instruments, the violin also has many lifestyle benefits like confidence and better concentration. Playing the violin can help you to increase your confidence by giving you the opportunity to prove you can learn a new skill. Then, learning this new skills will also improve your concentration.

This may seem common sense but did you know that learning to play the violin can also improve your posture? When you play the violin you need to sit in an upright posture with a straight back. So, the more you practice the better your musical skills and posture will get!

If you struggle to read music, let your tutor know. They can adjust their music lesson plan to teach you more about sheet music. That way, you'll learn two skills at the same time!

When you're looking for a music teacher, ask about their teaching experience. Many professional musicians do not have teaching experience, but this does not mean they will be bad teachers. As a rule of thumb, look for violin tutors who have graduated from a college of music.

If you're hiring a music teacher for a child, it may make you feel more comfortable to request a CRB check. You should also check that they have public liability insurance if the lessons will be taking place outside of your home.
