When you started violin, which key did you choose? Opinions have always been divided on this point.
Many people choose C major, but it is not a personal subjective choice, but just a copy of the textbook; some people choose D major, and some even start in A major or G major.
But F major, bB major and E major are chosen by almost no one, and no one starts directly from any minor key.
The reason is simple: the introduction to the major key is indeed better than the introduction to the minor key, because the scale fingerings in the major key are easy to learn, more simple, the tone page is very clear, and it is easier for beginners to get started.
In D major and A major, both begin with a straight and empty empty string, the strings are empty and bright, the vibration is rich, and then the 1, 2, and 3 fingers press 6 notes in the first position of the two strings, plus the empty string itself, forming an octave natural scale.
The two major fingerings are identical, except that one is tuned on the DA string and the other is tuned on the AE string. Comparatively speaking, A major is more convenient to pull up than D major, mainly because the E string is on the outermost side of the four strings, from the plane angle of the bow, it is easier to avoid the chord change than the middle two strings, and the arm is also more natural and comfortable on the E string.
In addition, the left finger method in D major and A major is more in line with the natural hand shape, which is manifested in iii and IV. levels, VII. and VIII. are semitones, both of which obtain accurate pitch through the closeness of 2 and 3 fingers.
This is far more natural than the semitones of G major and C major homophony, with fingers pressed against each other, less difficult, and easier for beginners to adapt.
In the natural major scales commonly used in the first position, F major and bB major scales are more difficult to hold for beginners.
Because some of the level 1 fingers have to be upturned and pressed the string (forming a small second degree with the empty string), this movement of raising the finger towards the top of the fingerboard will feel a little awkward and uncomfortable when the basic position remains unchanged, which is difficult for beginners to master, but it is easy for violin players with basic knowledge.
Through the explanation of the above examples, friends who want to pull these tones also have a deep understanding.
Just as for keyboard instrument players, the first key to get started must be C major, as far as the small editor is concerned, if you want to give beginners some advice to get started, especially amateur violinists, then I recommend using A major as the first key to learn, that is, the first key, the first key in the non-fixed key and the first key.
