Children Violin.
M.R. Today we will talk about violin. (Shows violin and bow) Look how beautiful violin. She has a beautiful "figure"- a body with a long graceful neck, which ends in a head with pegs and a curl. (Looking at the children violin) The top side of the body, called the top, is made of spruce, and the bottom side, the back, is made of maple. There are slots on the top soundboard; they are called f-holes, as they are made in the shape of the Latin letter f. Between the f-holes there is a stand that supports the strings. If you look into the slits of the f-hole, then under right side you'll see the stands small stick, connecting both decks. This is it "soul" violins, that’s what she’s called – darling. What are these main parts for? violins?Pegs hold four strings: E string, A string, D string and G string. They are called that because they are tuned to these sounds. Turning the pegs violinist tuning strings. The strings are stretched over the fingerboard. Violinist presses them with the fingers of his left hand - this is how he changes the length of the string, obtaining either lower or higher sounds. Now you see how complex the design is violins endowed with a wonderful voice. Violin considered quite young musical instrument, but it took a lot of time to create it modern form. The bow with which violinist makes the strings sound, originally had an arched shape. Exactly like a bow, only the hair was not pulled tight. However, using such a bow was still not very convenient. AND violin The craftsmen had to work hard to create its modern design. The bow reed is made from Brazilian fernambuco wood. The hair, usually made from white horsehair, is stretched between the head and the block of the cane. The length of the bow is 75 cm, and the weight is approximately 60 g. The bow should be light in order to musician could handle it easily. We don't know the name of the first one violin maker, but I will tell you names famous schools violin makers. The most famous of them took shape in northern Italy - in Bresci (Gaspar da Salo and Giovanni Magini, in Cremona (Amati, Stradivarius, Guarneri, Bergonzi). Now we'll see how they do it violin master.

Children Violin.
APPLICATION:
Small The grasshopper slept until noon.
From noon to evening played the violin.
An important bee flew in and sat down.

Golden circle of light and warmth
Over the green meadow the music floated.
The music sounded, and, forgetting things,
The important bee shook its head.
And the grasshopper the little one played the violin,
It was as if he were handing out a handful of happiness to everyone.
Didn't scream, didn't cry, didn't say a word,
On the green led the violin with a blade of grass.

Perhaps nowhere is the loss of time more obvious than when raising a child. An adult lying on the sofa with an empty book can probably make up for the time if he goes to bed later. A child left behind from upbringing - labor, mental, physical or musical - loses some precious personality qualities that are difficult to return. Difficult, but possible. Therefore, we will not overdramatize the situation. If you have not taken your first steps in musical education in the very early childhood, then start this today, when your child is 4 or 5 years old.
Listening to music
With proper musical development, children at this age become comfortable and become silent before listening to music. They recognize familiar music and happily tell adults about it. They can express their impression of the music: “It’s a good song,” “There’s a bird singing there,” “I hear the wind rustling,” etc. Some can pick up a melody they hear on a children's musical instrument or on a real piano.
Children are different. Some are sociable, like to do everything together, ask if something is not clear; others look for the answer to their question on their own. The first is the majority. There’s this little bundle of energy running around the apartment, and it seems like nothing can stop his attention for long. But then he sees that you are sitting motionless and listening to music. Sociable children will not stand it and will definitely ask:
- What are you doing?
— I listen to music.
- What kind of music?
- This is a symphony.
-What other symphony?
— A symphony is when many instruments play together, telling about something important.
- Is this interesting?
- Very.
It is possible that the child will ask:
-Can I listen?
- You can, just don’t play around. Don't talk. And if you get tired of it, leave.
Although this method of introducing preschoolers to listening to music does not always work, it is worth trying to act in this direction. The child learns from the example of adults that they listen to music attentively. At the same time, they do not talk or disturb others. It is also important that children see how an adult, who is always so busy, takes his time, listens to music with concentration, and is not distracted. Personal example is more effective than the most eloquent words.
How to talk about music
Many people believe that it is not at all necessary to explain to a child what a symphony or sonata is. All the same, they say, he won’t understand. He will not understand, of course, what the essence of the symphony is. That's right. But he learns that such a form exists, and that music has different shapes. Mastering knowledge about music, musical instruments, composers and musicians (of course, if all this is said in a language accessible to children) helps musical development child. It is best to talk about musical instruments in a form that little man closest. In the form of a fairy tale.
The Tale of the Violin
Listen to a piece with a violin. And the fairy tale itself can be told against the backdrop of quiet violin music.
Show your child a picture of a violin. Or draw it yourself. It’s even better if you have a toy violin at home. It's very good if there is a real one. Now tell us the fairy tale we invented about the violin. We are sure that many parents, who have more imagination than we do, can come up with a better fairy tale. It’s good if you can introduce elements of play into listening to a fairy tale.
Attention, game. You write in advance the answers to the questions given here and others that you have come up with on the theme of the fairy tale, and lay out the sheets of paper on the table under the corresponding numbers. Before you start telling the story, explain to your child the conditions of the game. For example, like this:
- Now I will tell you a fairy tale about an instrument that is called the queen of music - the violin. Then I'll ask questions. Listen carefully. For every correct answer you get a point. For the wrong one - me. The one who gets more points wins.
We are sure that after such an introduction the child will listen to the fairy tale attentively and with great interest.
In one kingdom, in one state, there lived a girl. Her parents loved music. That's why they named the girl Violin and taught her to play the violin. The girl grew up and became a musician. She traveled around cities and villages, played the violin and brought joy to people.
Lived in this kingdom angry man. He didn't like music, and he didn't like the fact that people were happy when they heard the sound of a violin. One day, before a concert, he secretly snuck into the room where the violin was lying and cut three strings. But I didn’t have time to cut the last fourth one. However, the girl managed to play very well on one string.
Then, at another concert, the evil man again snuck into the room where the violin lay and tore out all the hairs from the bow with which the violin made the sound. This time the villain managed to disrupt the concert because the girl had no other bow. And most importantly, in this kingdom there was no horse from whose tail one could take hair for a bow.
The violin could not play without a bow. The girl sat on the road and cried. At this time, a prince from a neighboring kingdom rode past on a white horse.
- Why are you crying? - asked the prince.
“I don’t have horsehair for a bow, and I can’t play the violin,” said the Violin.
- Don't cry. “I will give you a hair from the tail of my horse,” said the prince.
He inserted hair from his horse's tail into the bow, and the Violin began to play. The prince liked the playing of the violin and the Violin herself so much that he invited the girl to go with him to his kingdom and become his wife.
So the Violin became the queen, and her violin became the queen of music.
Questions for a fairy tale
— What was the name of the girl and the instrument she played?
— How many strings does a violin have?
— What is the name of what is used to move along the strings and produce sound?
-What is the hair on the bow made of?
— Why did the evil man cut the strings on the violin and tear out a hair from the bow?
Of course, other questions are possible, as well as other developments. fairy tale plot. Write the answers clearly, in block letters, on the other side of the piece of paper so that children who can read can read them themselves.
Talking about music in a way that is interesting to a child is not easy. It has been noticed that little listeners are most interested in the childhood years of a musician or composer. Or stories whose heroes are children.
A story about “March of the Wooden Soldiers” by P. Tchaikovsky
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky had an 8-year-old nephew, Volodya Davydov. He loved playing toy soldiers, and the composer dedicated this march to him. Volodya took the soldiers out of the box. If you want, you can take out your soldiers and put them in a row. You see, they stand straight and wait for the command. The order came, the music started playing, and they went. Listen, and you will hear how cheerfully and clearly they walk: “One-two! One-two! The soldiers pass by Volodya, who is receiving the parade.
After such a story, children understand that music is capable of expressing something quite specific. They become interested in understanding what music expresses and, consequently, have a desire to listen to music.
About children's mood
A few words about children's mood separately. Today's, momentary mood plays a significant role for a child (to a significant extent to a greater extent than an adult), both when listening to music and when practicing a musical instrument. Yesterday, on a sunny, successful day, everything was a joy for him. But today something is not going well, and the music only irritates him. Well then! In relation to children, especially small ones, precise routines and strict discipline are not always appropriate. On the contrary, here, in our opinion, flexibility and the ability to compromise are necessary.
We know a family in which the daily routine for five children was planned down to the smallest detail. And the parents set themselves the task of strictly adhering to the schedule. Any deviations from it were severely punished. The result was disastrous. As soon as the children grew up and left the control of their parents, they, as they say, “went to great lengths”: they left the family, entered into marriage early sexual relations, even took drugs. The desire to break free from the system of suppression of children's desires, which do not always coincide with the desires of adults, was victorious. This happens when water, long held back by a dam, breaks free, flooding everything around.
You shouldn’t force children to do something that they don’t feel like doing today.
Children's musical taste usually depends on the taste of their parents.
What kind of music should I listen to? preschool age? It is important to answer this question correctly, since children’s musical taste is just developing and they are not able to distinguish good music from bad, uninteresting. We believe that children’s tastes should be educated in the classics and accustomed to good music.
The definition given by S. Marshak for children's literature is quite suitable for music for children: “It should be written as for adults, only much better.” As in classical music, and in “easy” (the division is quite arbitrary) children have their own preferences. We don’t undertake to explain why, but it is noticeable that, for example, little ones listen to Mozart especially willingly. Who knows why? It is possible that the composer, who had the fame of a child prodigy in childhood, retained in his music that bright, childish perception of the world, half-forgotten by us adults. And therefore it is especially understandable to young listeners...
We know a family in which a girl enjoyed listening to Chopin’s music. In another family, dad was fond of modern music, and his six-year-old daughter’s favorite composer was Hindemith. The son of one of the authors, at the age of four, loved to listen to “ Moonlight Sonata» Beethoven. “Children,” wrote I. P. Pavlov, “subtly adopt not only the habits and manners of adults, but also their emotions.”
Composing music
It also happens: after listening to music combined with a story, kids try to compose music themselves. This happens especially often after they learn that some composers and musicians composed music in childhood. If there is a piano or children's musical instruments in the house, the baby sits for a long time, pressing the keys and listening to the sounds. There is no need to stop it, even if the sounds seem meaningless to you. Against. Such attempts should be encouraged in every possible way: “Oh, well done! Come on, say it again! How great you did! As if a bear had passed... As if a squirrel had run by...” Etc.
Here are some tips
- Record the melody on a tape recorder. Then listen with your child.
- Try to express in words what the music written by your child is like, what mood is expressed in it.
- Together with the young composer, come up with a name for the melody.
- If you can, write it down children's essay in the notes.
- Let children who are learning to play a musical instrument have their own works included in their repertoire.
- Your assignments can be a good incentive to compose music. Come up with a sad melody. Or funny. Or the melody of a lullaby for a doll. Write a melody for the poem. In our opinion, it is good to use children's poems by A. Barto, S. Marshak, K. Chukovsky and other popular authors for these purposes. Good children's poems go well with music.
Music and drawing
Children think in images. Therefore, they are happy to draw what they hear. This especially applies to musical works of a visual nature. Where the image embedded in the music is expressed clearly and distinctly. Sometimes even in the title of the play, as, for example, in “Children's Album” by P. Tchaikovsky, R. Schumann or, say, in plays for children by S. Maykapar, A. Grechaninov and other composers.
The violin is an ideal instrument for developing imagination. It is also good to play it because it gives the ability for creative insights.
Did you know that out of more than a hundred professional musicians symphony orchestra more than thirty are violinists?
The beauty of tone, as well as the wide range of expression of sounds, of violins is considered much better than that of other instruments.
Violin, practically the only one musical instrument, not counting ritual drums and Greek harps, which was deified. The names of the parts of the violin have been preserved: head, neck, chest, waist, darling. The violin was created as an analogue of the human voice. Until now, even at the very modern technology, it was not possible to synthesize the timbre of a human voice and a violin. For centuries, the technology, materials and methods of its manufacture have been developed, which have remained virtually unchanged since the mid-18th century. The violin has become one of the most classical instruments.
The structure of a violin is the most complex in terms of physics, acoustics and resistance of materials. In fact, it is a complex acoustic device that requires precise tuning and adjustment.
The exact date of birth of the violin is unknown, but it is still possible to approximately judge the time of its origin - this is the end of the fifteenth or the beginning of the sixteenth century. The very first violins were made by the same craftsmen who made lutes and viols, and then violin makers appeared. One of them, Gasparo Bertolotti, settled in 1562 in the Italian town of Brescia and worked there until the end of his days. Bertolotti had many students, and among them was Giovanni Paolo Magini, who later founded his own school of masters.
Bertolotti, Magini and their students had already arrived at basically the form of the violin that we know. And the sound of the instruments also took shape with them - it became louder and brighter than that of the viols. And the first Brescian masters, apparently, did not set themselves any other tasks. Their work was continued by the famous Cremonese. However, “continued” is not entirely accurate.
There are many schools and directions of violin making, but the most prominent are Italian, French and German. They all have their advantages and disadvantages and differ significantly from each other both in sound and manufacturing methods. The sound of instruments of the Italian school is recognized as the most timbre, flexible and controllable. That is, the musician can control the timbre characteristics of the instrument. Sound of instruments German school characterized by brightness and emptiness. French instruments They sound somewhat glassy and hollow. Although in all schools there were instruments with “foreign” characteristics.
Dramatic and sometimes mystical events always unfold around the violin. Not a single musical instrument in the world has been involved in so many crime stories, including bloody murders. The craftsmen have never put their soul so deeply into any musical instrument, endowing each of their products with unique features that make it possible to assign to the instrument, as to a person, given name. No musical instrument appears regularly on famous auctions, where astronomical, most often seven-digit, numbers appear in connection with it. None! Except for the violin. 
So why do such events always unfold around her?! Let's dig into history! The violin “descended” from the ancient viol - a rather large instrument with frets on the neck. The viol was played sitting down, held between the legs or placed sideways on the thigh. As the years passed, the instrument changed. History connects the final transformation of the viol into a violin with three families of violin makers from Italian city Cremona: Amati, Guarneri and Stradivari. It was the founder of the Stradivari dynasty, Antonio (1644–1736), who is revered as the main creator of the modern violin.
The new instrument had many influential opponents and even outright enemies. And the violin took the place it rightfully deserved only thanks to the great musicians who advanced the technique of violin playing far forward. And the most notable of them was the great Niccolo Paganini.
His performances brought the audience into ecstasy.
Those present were always amazed by his incredible, “inhuman” mastery of performance. Without any visible effort, he extracted virtuoso trills from the violin and performed the most complex variations even on one string.
They said that his art was the music of heaven, the voices of angels. But there were others who whispered behind the musician’s back that witchcraft signs were inscribed on his instrument and that he had long ago sold his soul to the devil...
Having experienced all the facets of success, the brilliant violinist lived to the age of 58, leaving behind several million francs and dozens of works written by him musical works, some of which are so difficult that no one can play them yet. Humanity has not yet given birth to a second Paganini.
Amati Nicolo (1596 - 1684) - Italian violin maker. From 2nd half XVI V. Violins made by the Amati family, who had long lived in Cremona, became famous throughout Italy. In their works, the classical type of instrument was finally formed, which has survived to this day. Few violins and cellos created by the most famous master of the Amati family, Nicolo, have survived, and they are especially highly valued. It was from N. Amati that A. Guarneri and A. Stradivari learned the most complex art of violin construction.
Guarneri - family Italian masters bowed instruments. The founder of the family, Andrea Guarneri (1626 - 1698) was a student of the famous N. Amati. Particularly famous and recognized were the instruments created by his grandson, Giuseppe Guarneri (1698 - 1744), nicknamed del Gesù. Few instruments made by del Gesù have survived (10 violas and 50 violins); at present they are of exceptional value. 
Stradivari (Stradivarius) Antonio (c. 1644 - 1737) - an outstanding Italian violin maker, a student of the famous N. Amati (1596 - 1684). WITH youth to last days During his life, Stradivari worked in his workshop, driven by the desire to bring the violin to the highest perfection. Over 1,000 instruments made by the great master have been preserved, distinguished by their elegant form and unsurpassed sound qualities. Stradivari's successors were the masters C. Bergonzi and G. Guarneri.
In many countries, the clergy took up arms against good violinists - even in quiet Norway they were considered accomplices dark forces, and Norwegian folk violins burned like witches.
But not everyone knows that there were directly opposite stories!
If we look into a more ancient “layer” of time, we will find that bowed instruments, related to the violin, in fact, angels were originally depicted on temple frescoes and in handwritten Bibles, and in one ancient manuscript Christ was called not just anyone, but “the beloved violinist.”
Such things were later hushed up, and the frescoes were destroyed, but on the fresco of the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv you can still see a musician playing a bowed instrument.
The word virtuoso was once applied to scientists. Many violinists were not only artists, painters, and violin poets, but also scientists and inventors. (One violin work written in those days was called “sonata for inventive violin”).
The word “virtuoso” is now used (if we are talking about music) in only one meaning – “technical”. Meanwhile, the situation has not changed: in order to play the violin well, including virtuoso music, you still need to have not developed muscles, but a flexible mind and strong intuition.
Interestingly, the opposite is also true: the violin stimulates the brain (for which there is a scientific explanation). It is not for nothing that many outstanding minds loved to play this magical instrument in their spare time in order to prepare the mind for the birth of new ideas. (See – Sherlock Holmes and Einstein violin).
Interesting facts about the violin they will tell you a lot of new things about this stringed musical instrument.
The modern violin is over 500 years old. It was designed in the 1500s by Andrea Amati.
In 2003, Athira Krishna from India entered the Guinness Book of Records by playing the violin continuously for 32 hours.
Playing an instrument burns 170 calories per hour.
Violins are usually made from spruce or maple wood. Violins are very difficult. More 70 different pieces of wood put together to create the modern violin.
Before 1750, strings were made from sheep intestines.
The tool stimulates the brain.
The word violin comes from the medieval Latin word vitula, which means string instrument;
The smallest violin in the world, 1 cm long, was created in the city of Guangzhou (southern China).
Violins made by Stradivarius and Guarneri are extremely highly prized.
The most expensive violin ever purchased by a private investor was purchased for 16 million dollars. However, the Ashmolean Museum currently owns the violin, worth $20 million.
Famous violinists:
- Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) - Italian violinist and composer, one of the founders of the concerto grosso genre.
- Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) - Venetian composer, violinist, teacher, conductor.
- Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) - Italian violinist and composer. He improved the design of the bow, lengthening it, and developed the basic techniques for bowing, which were recognized by all contemporary violinists in Italy and France and came into general use.
- Giovanni Battista Viotti (1753-1824) - Italian violinist and composer, author of 29 violin concertos.
- Nicolo Paganini (1782-1840) - Italian violinist, guitarist and composer, author of violin caprices and concertos.
- Henri Vietant (1820-1881) - Belgian violinist and composer, one of the founders of the national violin school. Author of numerous works for violin - seven concertos with orchestra, a number of fantasies, variations, concert etudes, etc.
Of course, everyone knows the violin. The most refined and sophisticated among string instruments The violin is a way of transmitting the emotions of a skilled performer to the listener. While sometimes gloomy, unrestrained and even rude, she remains tender and vulnerable, beautiful and sensual.
We have prepared a few for you fascinating facts about this magical musical instrument. You will learn how a violin works, how many strings it has, and what works are written by composers for the violin.
How does a violin work?
Its structure is simple: body, neck and strings. Tool accessories vary widely in their purpose and importance. For example, one should not overlook the bow, thanks to which sound is extracted from the strings, or the chinrest and bridge, which allow the performer to place the instrument most comfortably on the left shoulder.
There are also accessories like a machine, which allows the violinist to correct the tuning that has changed for any reason without wasting time, in contrast to the use of string holders - pegs, which are much more difficult to work with.
There are only four strings themselves, always tuned to the same notes - E, A, D and G. violins? From different materials– they can be vein, silk or metal.
The first string on the right is tuned to E of the second octave and is the thinnest of all the strings presented. The second string, together with the third, “personify” the notes “A” and “D”, respectively. They have an average, almost identical thickness. Both notes are in the first octave. The last, thickest and bassiest string is the fourth string, tuned to the note “G” of the small octave.
Each string has its own timbre - from piercing (“E”) to thick (“Sol”). This is what allows the violinist to convey emotions so skillfully. The sound also depends on the bow - the reed itself and the hair stretched over it.
What types of violins are there?
The answer to this question may be confusing and varied, but we will answer quite simply: there are the most familiar wooden violins for us - the so-called acoustic ones, and there are also electric violins. The latter operate on electricity, and their sound is heard thanks to the so-called “speaker” with an amplifier - a combo. There is no doubt that these instruments are designed differently, although they may look the same in appearance. The technique of playing an acoustic and electronic violin is not significantly different, but you have to get used to an analog electronic instrument in its own way.
What works are written for violin?
The works are a separate topic for reflection, because the violin shows itself magnificently both as a soloist and in music. That's why they write for the violin solo concerts, sonatas, partitas, caprices and plays of other genres, as well as parts for all kinds of duets, quartets and other ensembles.
The violin can participate in almost all types of music. Most often on at the moment it is included in classical, folk and rock. You can even hear the violin in children's cartoons and their Japanese adaptations - anime. All this only contributes to the increasing popularity of the instrument and only confirms that the violin will never disappear.
Famous violin makers
Also, don't forget about the violin makers. Probably the most famous is Antonio Stradivari. All his instruments are very expensive, they were valued in the past. Stradivarius violins are the most famous. During his lifetime, he made more than 1,000 violins, but at the moment between 150 and 600 instruments have survived - the information in various sources is sometimes amazing in its diversity.
Other families associated with violin making include the Amati family. Different generations of this large Italian family improved bowed musical instruments, including improving the structure of the violin, achieving a strong and expressive sound from it.
Famous violinists: who are they?
Once upon a time there was a violin folk instrument, but over time, the technique of playing it became complex and individual virtuoso craftsmen began to emerge from among the people, who delighted the public with their art. Italy has been famous for its violinists since the musical Renaissance. It is enough to name just a few names - Vivaldi, Corelli, Tartini. Niccolo Paganini also came from Italy, whose name is shrouded in legends and secrets.
Among the violinists who came from Russia are such great names as J. Heifetz, D. Oistrakh, L. Kogan. Modern listeners also know the names of current stars in this field of performing arts - these are, for example, V. Spivakov and Vanessa-Mae.
It is believed that in order to start learning to play this instrument, you must have at least good skills, strong nerves and patience, which will help you overcome five to seven years of study. Of course, such a thing cannot do without disruptions and failures, however, as a rule, even these are only beneficial. The study time will be difficult, but the result is worth the pain.
Material dedicated to the violin cannot be left without music. Listen famous music Saint-Saens. You've probably heard it before, but do you know what kind of work it is?
