By Ora Dickson


Mastering instrumentation relies heavily on whether you will master the correct posture. This leads to better balance which is crucial when playing any instrument. It allows even distribution of weight when you stand. Shifting, bow stroke, intonation, tone and tone, among other aspects, are affected by your violin hand posture.

It is crucial to achieve balance in order to lengthen the time you perform or practice. The distance between your right and left foot should be shoulder-width when standing. This is the right pose to lengthen your spine and ensure that you stand tall. A professional pose keeps you off fatigue and allows you to play longer.

Slouching is dangerous because it will lead to very serious problems. The issues that arise out of slouching affects how you hold the instrument and your bowing position. Students are advised to practice under the instructions of a professional. Where this is not possible, a mirror will do the trick. It is necessary to identify the professional pose before perfecting it with the assistance of a mirror.

The right position is more important than playing your first song on any instrument. The idea is to learn the basic skills because they will move you closer to becoming a professional artist. Those who are interested in playing violins at professional level should learn the standing position before moving to the sitting position. With proper positioning, other professional skills are easier to master.

A standing position gives you a feeling of a lengthened body. It also makes it easier to achieve necessary balance when playing the instrument. Balance is considered the biggest challenge when students are learning instrumentation. Its importance cannot be over emphasized.

Common mistakes when learning or playing violas, basses and violins include crossing your legs. Some students place more weight on one leg when standing. This will affect finger movement, the length of bowing and eventually reduce the hours you can play or perform without getting tired. Slouching affects the upper body and must be avoided by all means. During practice, it is advisable to learn the correct thing.

Parents, teachers and students must address playing any instrument as a physical skill. This is should happen during the first month or lessons. This skill is then followed by the centrality of sound to all musical instruments. It is common to see students running to learn the first song and therefore ignoring very crucial aspects.

Some experts insist that the right leg can carry slightly more weight than the left instead of even distribution. The way to achieve this is to place it slightly in front. For longer sessions, weight can be shifted by alternating the legs during breaks. The muscles will relax and allow better performance.

Mastery of musical instrumentation skills relies heaving on the right posture. With this basic out of the way, other skills are easier and faster to grasp. It makes your skills more professional and therefore increases your musical prospects.
