Hey guys!
I just wanted to post some beginner tips for those of you embarking on your violin journey!
Tip 1: Watch your bow hold. The last thing you want is to develop a bad bow hold. If you have a teacher make sure your holding the bow the exact way they showed you. If you don't have a teacher I recommend looking up TheOnlinePianoandViolin teacher for a good bow hold. You can of course post your bow hold in the Newbie Corner and ask if it's correct.
Tip 2: Really listen for your intonation. What I mean by this is not just putting your finger over a tape (if you have tapes) and memorizing the position. I mean internalize the sound of the note. If you do this it'll be easier to play by ear.
Tip 3: Watch your left hand! Make sure you're not holding your violin with your palm. If you have a teacher make sure you're holding the way they show you. If you don't have a teacher look up the Youtube channel I mentioned in Tip 1.
That's all I can think of now. I hope I helped you in some way shape or form.
Thanks for reading
