  4. How Do I Hold The Violin? • Violin on shoulder • Chin on chin rest • Keep wrist rounded • Elbow under the center of the violin • Avoid resting the wrist on the violin neck • The thumb is opposite the 1st or 2nd finger

  5. How Do I Hold The Bow? • Relax hand, turn wrist to the left, let fingers drop into place • Tip of bent thumb touches frog contact point • Fingers curve over top of bow stick • Middle finger is opposite the thumb.

  6. How Does the Violin Create Sound? • As the bow is drawn across the string, the string vibrates • As the string vibrates, the wood that it is directly touching begins to vibrate also • Instantly, the entire violin vibrates at the same frequency as the string

  7. Members of the String Family • The members have the same body shape • They are each played with a bow • They all have four strings, with each string tuned to a different note * Violin * Viola * Cello * Bass
