A violin has four strings tuned to the notes G, D, A and E, from lowest to highest.

• G string: This is the deepest string, located on the far left when holding the instrument.
• D string: It provides a warm, resonant sound ideal for expressive playing.
• A string: A bright, clear string used for many melodies.
• E string: This steel string produces the most projecting sound.

Each string is tuned a perfect fifth above the one below it.

Once you can tune and recognise each string, you can start building finger patterns.
