You will increase your creativity

Playing the violin requires a lot of creativity because you have to utilise your imagination when working on an interpretation of a violin piece. Although technical skills are required, performing without the addition of feelings and emotions is insufficient.

Playing the violin will teach you how to understand the intentions of various composers and will help you build your sense of artistry.

2
You will gain confidence

The process of learning to play a violin piece beautifully will significantly boost your confidence. Each violin piece is unique and will necessitate specialised practice. After putting in the time and effort, you will undoubtedly reap the benefits of your labor. It’s gratifying, and it’ll give you the confidence you need to see the wonderful results.

On a larger scale, the same scenario will play out. Even if your violin instructor provides you with assistance and direction, you will be solely responsible for your delightful performances.

3
You will develop your memory

A great memory is necessary for violin playing.

Beginners will improve their memory not only by learning music notation, but also by gaining expertise of the instrument. Unlike the piano, the music notes on the violin neck are not clearly defined, so you must remember where they are to play in tune. When you study technical exercises, your muscles will create their own memory.

Furthermore, memorising violin pieces for greater performances will be required. While it is OK to follow the score while performing, playing by heart will increase your sensitivity and, as a result, the beauty of your performance.

4
You will improve your social skills

Unless they are playing solo pieces, violinists rarely play on their own. You’ve probably observed that they generally perform in chamber music or symphony settings.

You will meet other musicians if you play the violin. Having to play along with them will provide you with an excellent opportunity to strengthen your social and listening skills.

When performing in a group setting, musicians must listen to their partners’ parts and debate interpretation ideas to ensure that their performance is harmonic.

What a great method to hone your social skills!

5
You will discover and understand the world of music

When studying violin playing at The London Violin Institute, you will not only practise exquisite violin pieces, but you will also discover world’s renowned violinists as well as the works of the composers who have written for the violin.

Your teacher will surely help you discover other composers, music genres and musicians to help you expand your musical knowledge and culture.

6
You will stay young cognitively

Violin playing is pretty difficult because it involves both your physical and mental abilities at the same time. You will also need to use many sections of your brain at the same time.

While playing the violin, you must consider your overall posture, hand positions, technical aspects, the piece you are playing, and its interpretation.

Playing the violin will undoubtedly improve your multitasking abilities!

7
You will meet like-minded violin lovers

At The London Violin Institute, we often host musical evenings and students’ concerts for you to meet like-minded violin lovers.

By attending your violin lessons at our lovely premises in the City of London, you will also meet other amateur violinists who share the same passion.

By spending time with your violin teacher weekly, you will learn about their own experience and background. What an amazing privilege to be so close to a concert violinist!

8
You will be playing your favourite pieces

As a violin lover, you might surely know Brahms violin concerto, Franck sonata for violin and piano and Paganini caprices.

Wouldn’t be fantastic to start playing your favourite pieces whenever you feel like it?

Instead of having to listen to the interpretation of other violinists, you could now express yourself, and add your personal feeling into the pieces that you like the most.

It simply does not get better than that!

9
You will relieve stress

Violin playing is an activity which will undoubtedly take you to another world and help you relieve the tension accumulated in your professional life.

Also, the complexity of this art requires excellent focus and concentration. You can be assured to forget any trouble you may have.

You might come slightly stressed to your violin lesson, but you will surely leave with a smile on your face.

10
You will encourage your children to play the violin and help them learn

Wouldn’t be fantastic to know how to play the violin and be able to help your children should they wish to learn as well?

Unfortunately, most children who learn a musical instrument do not have the privilege to be supported by their parents. Wouldn’t you feel incredibly proud to be able to help them in their endeavour?

Besides, there is nothing more enjoyable than playing duets with your loved one. Playing the violin will offer you this immense opportunity.
