Hello everyone.
This week in Counting the Beat we have been learning about violins. There are a lot of different types of violins and string instruments that might be similar to violins. Believe it or not there are actually electric violins.The string instruments that look similar to violins are a viola, a cello and a double bass. Others might see this instruments as violins that are just different with size but they are actually played differently and they sound different.
Like a ukulele and a guitar a violin also has a body and a neck. Though ukuleles and violins are kind of similar, ukuleles don't have a chin rest and a tuning hole as a violin. The tuning hole of a violin has a really odd shape, it is shape as the letter 'f'. Unlike ukuleles violins have a bow to play the violin. You might be able to strum the violin but its not played like this occasionally.
We also listened to some of Vilvadi concertos. I think the songs that Vivaldi composed were really interesting. They say that by listening to one of his songs can help you calm your mind and hopefully be ready for learning. I agree with this comment because I felt kind of relaxed even though the song wasn't very calm-like. I think the song kind of represents what you are feeling and that's why it makes me feel relieved.
Here is a photo of what a violin might look like:
I hope you have learnt some interesting facts.
Would you play a violin?
