Violin Lessons

he violin is a musical instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest, highest-pitched member of the viol family of string instruments, which also includes the viola, the cello, and the double bass. Someone who plays the violin is called a violinist. The violinist produces sound by drawing a bow across one or more or by plucking the strings. The violin is played by musicians in a wide variety of musical genres, but since the Baroque era, the violin has been one of the most important of all instruments in classical music with Concertos written by the greatest classical composers exploring the magnitude of its expressivity and sonorous beauty.
Great violinists include Jascha Heifetz, Itzak Perlman, Hilary Hahn, Nathan Milstein, and Leila Josefowicz.
