beautifully explained, thanks.  kindly tell me the exact size of the circle being taken.

@yogeshsinghal007 If you mean - how close is a half step in an actual measurement - believe it or not - it varies depending on the string length of your instrument. Also - for those with skinny finger tips it may feel bigger than to those of us who have fat finger tips. The general rule in first position is that the fingers touch each other to make a half step. As you go higher on the violin the spacing gradually gets smaller. Smiles! Diane

Hi, i play piano but also interested in learning how to play the violin. I have understood this topic quicker than i thought , but one thing which i didnt get much, its about the, what are the purpose of the (G,D,A,E) on the beginning, what are they called?why do we have them?thank you in adnvace :)

[myviolinrecital]

@johlo05 Ah! The letters G D A & E represent what we call the open strings. In other words - the pitches the strings play when you don't put a finger down on them at all. This video has an older version of my charts. The newer version inculdes in musical notation the range of notes in the chart. Go to the Fingerboard Workbook Series site to download free updated charts. Smiles! Diane

I'm so glad this helped! I have an entire website dedicated to this topic with charts, videos and workbooks

Smiles! Diane

This is really great! I know how to play the violin but this gave me a deeper understanding. Also, I've had trouble learning what the notes are called but this helped!

Wow very,very,very,very,very helpful thank you!!! It is just hard if you are a beginner and don´t know where the notes are on the violin! Because I learned the "keyboard notes" in music lessons I´ve got a much better overview because of this graphic! Once again thank you!!!

This is preliminary info. for The Fingerboard Workbook Series. A set of workbooks that transform your approach to finding notes on a fretless instrument. See the notes, hear the notes and feel the notes! Smiles! Diane
