heres Violen stuf..........................


The lowest string (and hence the lowest note) is the G just below middle C, then in ascending order D, A and E. A person who plays violin is called a violinist.A person who makes or repairs stringed instruments is a luthier.

Double stopping is when two separate strings are stopped by the fingers, and bowed to make a viberating sound. When a note is marked pizzicato in the written music, it is played by plucking the string with a finger rather than with the bow. Vibrato is very common and is used by violinists which causes the pitch of a note to vary up and down quickly. 

Just touching the string with a finger and not pressing down can create harmonics. This means that instead of the normal solid tone a wispy-sounding note of a higher pitch is played. Harmonics are marked in music with a little circle above the note that determines the pitch of the harmonic. There are two types of harmonics: natural harmonics and artificial harmonics. Natural harmonics are the type of harmonic that are achieved by simply touching the string with one finger at a node point. The tone of the violin can also be altered by attaching a small rubber device called a mute to the bridge. Usually between the middle two strings (D and A). This stops the bridge itself from vibrating as much. There are also large metal, rubber, or wooden mutes. These are known as "practice mutes" or "hotel mutes". Such mutes are not used in performance, but are used to deaden the sound of the violin in practice areas such as hotel rooms.

The term détaché simply means ‘separated’ and it can be applied to any notes not linked by a slur. Legato - Of successive notes in performance, connected without any intervening silence of articulation. Sautillé - A bowstroke played rapidly in the middle of the bow, one bowstroke per note, so that the bow bounces very slightly off the string of its own accord. col legno - Occasionally the strings are struck with the back of the bow (col legno). This gives a much more percussive sound, and is most effective when employed by a full orchestral violin section, since it produces little volume.

Violins are tuned by twisting the pegs in the scroll, around which the strings are wrapped. The A string is tuned first, typically to 440 Hz (see Pitch (music)). The tuning G-D-A-E is used for the great majority of all violin music. However, other tunings are occasionally employed (for example, tuning the G string up to A). A bridge is a device for supporting the strings on a stringed instrument and transmitting the vibration of those strings. In music and music theory, a chord (from the middle English cord, short for accord) is three or more different notes or pitches sounding simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, over a period of time. For example, if you simultaneously play any three (or more) keys of a piano, you have just played a chord. Originally, a chord simply meant the sounding together of different tones, the resultant of these tones. In music theory, an interval is the distance in pitch between two notes, the lower and higher members of the interval. vertical (or harmonic) if the two notes sound simultaneously linear (or melodic), if the notes sound successively. In music a simultaneity is more than one complete musical texture occurring at the same time, rather than in succession. • accelerando – gradually increase the tempo; "accelerate". • adagietto – "rather slow." • adagio – "slow." • adagissimo – "very slow." • ad libitum (commonly ad lib) – the speed and manner are left to the performer.

In English, the notes are given 7 letter names: A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Each letter name is assigned to a specific pitch regardless of the octave in which the pitch resides. Notes are used together as a scales or tone row. However, because there are actually 12 notes needed by diatonic music, the 7 letter names can also be given a modifier.
forte – usually marked with f: to be played or sung loudly. The term fortissimo, or ff, means "very loudly."

piano – marked p, a directive to play or sing softly. The related term pianissimo, pp, means "very softly."

use the stuf wizzzzzzzely and please dont hurt urself!!!!!!!!!
