VIOLIN

Violin is a relatively smaller instrument in size, but one that produces high-pitched sounds with the power to stir the soul. Also referred to as a fiddle by some, the violin is a wooden string instrument, typically played by drawing a bow across the strings.

Although the exact year the violin was created is unknown, the modern design is believed to be over 500 years old. Italian makers such as Stradivari and Guarneri are primarily credited for this version. Violin is most prominent in the Western classical tradition, folk music, including country music, bluegrass music and in jazz, both in ensembles and as solo instruments.

Playing the violin is considered an intellectual pursuit and requires dedication and passion. It is believed that Mozart started his musical training on violin. As challenging as it is supposed to be, the violin can be taught and learned with just a little bit of extra commitment.
