Find violin classes near me in Tynemouth

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: 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.
