Find violin classes near me in Peterborough

A violin has four strings tuned to the notes G, D, A and E, from lowest to highest.

• G string: The lowest and thickest string, producing a rich, warm tone.
• D string: It provides a warm, resonant sound ideal for expressive playing.
• A string: This is often the first string beginners learn to play on.
• E string: The thinnest and highest string, capable of brilliant, singing tones.

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

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