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: 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.

The interval between each pair of strings is a perfect fifth.

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