How do you tell how much rosin to have on a violin bow string?  Can you use piano sheet music to play a violin

Don't use too much, but it's important to rosin everyday.  An unrosin'ed bow will go dull quicker.  The rosin grips the string because it is very sticky.  Rosin dust on the strings is natural, but after you are done playing, it's best to take a dry, clean rag and clean off the rosin dust on your strings.  This will help to prolong their life.  If you are squeaking, this will go away as your technique improves.  You can use any sheet music that is in C and in treble cleff.

Nothing. it depends on what you use it for.  It is called a violin when used in a formal setting such as a concert hall.  It is called a fiddle when it is used for commonplace songs such as folk songs.  A Fiddle is a favorite instrument to use in playing Irish folk music.

You can use different string instruments or you an even use different types of strings. Rope, nylon, thread and use different tensions with them.

you'd probably be best off by finding it on a guitar tabs website and use the chords to figure it out and then improv. that's what I do when I figure out piano stuff. just keep in mind, if you have to read tabs, the top string is e, then b,g,d,a,e, and every fret is one half step. Good luck and have fun

I think this a very good question.  I wondered about this myself. I think the answer would be different depending on the child.  My son was not ready until 8, he takes drum lessons.  My daughter started taking violin lessons at 6.  Her attention span was much better and she had a real interest and desire.  Usually, music teachers say that they like to start music training at around 7 or 8.  I would suggest that you let your child take one lesson and get the opinion of the teacher as to how they feel you child will do.  Most music stores let you rent an instrument for only 20 dollars for three months so that if your child changes their mind you have not invested a great deal of money.  I rented a violin and the teacher told me that within the first couple of lessons she would know if my daughter was ready and she was.  It is trial and error.  So go with your gut!

Most music shops that sell string instruments sell violin bridges.  If not, ask them for a recommendation.

Yeah, i know some hard rock that uses pianos and violins... not like some gay emo crap but some good stuff, My Dying Bride is a good example of the violin, check out their 'The Angel and the Dark River' album. very very good album!

Violin strings were really made of gut, I believe it was really from sheep.The draw back of that type is they were greatly effected by weather and they broke easier.\n       The bow hair was made from horse tail- a lot better than synthetic bow hair.\n   Mike R tells just how it was made.

It depends on the quality of the copy.  What I would do: take it to a really good music store, don't tell them anything about it, just ask them to give you their opinion on it.  \n\nIn general, $200 is a good deal on a violin, even if it's not top quality.

i do. i also play the cello. but they're both kind similar in play style. It's harder on the violin then it is on the cello. because the angle your hand is at.

If you're a student, ask your music teacher. If you're a teacher, ask your students who accompnies them.
