Violin parts : Pegs – There are four pegs that hold the strings. The pegs and peg holes are tapered, so when tuning with the pegs it is necessary to push slightly inward toward the pegbox. When Holding the violin upright with the scroll to the ceiling and the strings facing you, turn the peg very slightly away from you (or up) to raise the pitch and the opposite way to lower the pitch. Eye – The eye of the violin bow is centered in the frog. It acts as a decoration and is usually made of mother of pearl. You can use the eye as a guide when learning how to hold the bow.

I don’t just teach online violin lessons, I go beyond with lesson plans that include so much more. I provide online lesson portals, audio practice aids and audio practice submissions with feedback too. These are on top of the regular online violin lesson. That means, the lesson isn’t over after the online zoom lesson. Each lesson plan encourages the most progress per week. This learning environment is the most effective with teacher support that continues all week. Discover more information at Suzuki Method Violin Lessons.
How to change atrings? Open the new string: Open the package with the new string. Some strings are sold straight and some are coiled in the package. All strings have different colors at each end and the package should tell you which color is which string. Different brands of strings have different colors so make sure to check the packaging before you change strings. For example, with Tomastik Dominant Violin Strings the E 3/string is Purple, A string is Blue, D string is Green and G string is yellow at the tailpiece end of the strings and at the peg end all the strings are purple.
