Whether you're learning to play the guitar, piano, or violin, there are a few ways to go about it. For many students in Belfast and around Northern Ireland, music lessons with a teacher in a music school are a popular way to get better at playing musical instruments. However, this isn't the only way to learn and a private tuition is also a good option.
If you're interested in learning how to play the violin, let's have a look at the history of this wonderful musical instrument, buying your first violin, learning to play the violin in a music school, how private tutors can help, and how to find them.
The violin or fiddle is a stringed musical instrument that's used in a broad variety of music from classical music to pop, rock, and even jazz. Predecessors to the violin existed in the Arabic world (the rebab) but the very first instrument that we'd call a violin was made in northern Italy in the 16th century.
Its popularity spread across Europe and into the courts of French nobility. However, it was also very popular amongst street musicians, too, making it an instrument for anyone.
The instrument changed quite a bit during the 18th century and solidified the form and design of violins. While there are still different violins and now both acoustic violins and electric violins are available, the most important aspects of violins were established around 200 years ago!
If you're interested in taking violin lessons or learning how to play with a private tutor, you're probably going to need a violin. Buying any musical instrument when you first begin can be complicated and to the untrained eye, most violins will look the same.
Usually, it's a good idea to speak to your teacher or tutor about which violin is right for you, but it's also a good idea to speak to assistants in music shops. In most music shops, the staff are passionate about music and will often have an advanced level in the instruments they sell. However, be wary of those on a commission as they may be encouraged to sell you a violin more expensive than what you need.
If you're a beginner, remember that a good violin won't make you a good player. Start with cheaper entry-level models as you can always invest in a more expensive instrument once your level improves and you're sure that the violin is for you. The worst thing you can do is buy an expensive instrument only to find out that it's not for you and leave it to collect dust.
Don't forget that you'll also have the choice of acoustic or electric violins. We'd recommend starting with an acoustic violin as you don't need to worry about amplification and you can get used to the shape of a traditional violin.
Music lessons in a music school are a good way to learn to play any musical instrument. Whether you're interested in the piano, guitar, violin, or even improving your voice, a dedicated school will offer courses and lessons in musical instruments, singing, and even music theory, which is very important for learning to play the violin.
The main downside to learning in a school is that there's less flexibility than tutoring. Lessons and courses in music schools are taught to a particular schedule so if you're interested in getting started, you may have to wait until the start of the academic year. Similarly, some schools won't offer lessons in particular musical styles or instruments if there isn't enough demand. A private tutor, on the other hand, only needs one interested student for the classes to go ahead.
That said, some schools will offer free taster sessions and some music schools even offer very affordable lessons for students of all ages. It's certainly worth looking into if you want to play the violin and learn in a more classical setting.
One of the best ways to play any musical instrument is through private tutors. While the classes at a music school are certainly a great way to learn, private tutors can tailor their class to the student being taught. As every course is tailored to the student, they can also learn about specific genres of music such as classical, rock, pop, jazz, or folk.
Similarly, the tutor can focus on the aspects of playing the instrument that the student needs help in. As they tend to work with individual students, every minute of every session can be spent working with the student to improve their playing or understanding of the theory.
Since a tutor will adapt their lesson to the student, they can also make learning the violin more fun. Working with one student at a time means that they're free to tailor the experience to them, what they want to learn, and how they want to learn.
