All About the Violin How do you play the violin? You can pluck the violin with your fingers or play the violin with a bow. You draw the bow back and forth across the strings to create the sounds. The violin is not very useful without the bow. Trying to play a violin without the bow is like trying to read without a book. It takes a lot of time to learn how to play the violin. The music of the violin is very sweet. The music of the violin can be sad, as sad as a tear. The violin can also be happy and cheerful. And sometimes the violin is very mellow. When it is mellow it sounds beautiful. The sounds a musician makes with the violin could make a person cry. The violin has many related instruments that are similar. First I will talk about the smaller instrument. One of the smaller instruments is the viola. The violin and the viola both make high notes, like a bird singing. Both are put on the shoulder by the person who is playing. The larger instruments that the violin is related to are the cello and the double bass. The cello and the double bass both make low notes. Like a thunderstorm. Both of these instruments are rested on the floor when being played. |
