Find violin classes near me in Glossop

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: This string bridges the bass and treble registers.
• A string: This is often the first string beginners learn to play on.
• E string: It requires precise finger placement because small errors become very audible.

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.
