Find violin classes near me in High Wycombe

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: 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.
