Find violin classes near me in Pengam

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: A bright, clear string used for many melodies.
• E string: It requires precise finger placement because small errors become very audible.

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

These four notes form the foundation of all violin technique.
