Find violin classes near me in Aldridge

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: The second-lowest string, often used for melodic passages.
• A string: It sits just below the highest string and is tuned to 440 Hz in standard pitch.
• E string: The thinnest and highest string, capable of brilliant, singing tones.

This tuning system makes it easier to shift positions across the fingerboard.

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
