So since my sheet has ### in it, I always play my strings on the exact red/yellow/blue lines. So when it comes to signatures the ones with 1 # and 2 # are the ones that actually mess up the sheet, but the one with 3 #s is the one that doesn't mess up anything?
Not quite. You need to know the names of the notes on each string so you can apply the key signature. For example, you need to know that 2nd finger on the D string is F, and you need to know if all F's are sharp in your music so you know whether to use high 2 or low 2. Play along with the video, hopefully it will make sense. Good luck!
Totally understandable! Try this website: www.musictheory.net/exercises/note You can also explore www.sightreadingfactory.com to practice sight reading. Try not to look at your hands while you play. Keep practicing, you'll get there!
so like sharps are normal and on the tape and naturals are basically not naturals (not on tape) and pinched? i just wanna make sure bc im auditioning soon and i wanna make sure i have it down
That’s almost right. The notes on the D, A and E string are sharp when 2nd finger is on the tape but on the G string that spot is B natural. Low 2 on G string is B flat. For an explanation of why, check out the video I linked called Chromatics for String Players. I also recommend looking at a fingerboard map. (Method books have them, or you can probably search for one.) Good luck!
thank you!! I've had 4 different violin teachers because they all had to move away and so none of them explained the basics to me-- my first violin teacher left without explaining it and I guess they all thought I already knew. I've been so confused and sad these past three years aaa-- I have a question though. So At first I thought F sharp was actually F because it's on the tape. So how do I know which notes are flat or sharp on the tape? Like which notes on the tape are sharp or flat-- it would be super helpful, thanks
I'm so glad this video helped you! Sorry to hear you had to wait so long to understand but good for you for sticking with it. As far as knowing where the notes are on the fingerboard, you can just google "violin fingerboard chart" and see lots of examples. Here's one I found on a site you might also find helpful because it also has metronome, tuner, etc. theonlinemetronome.com/fingering-charts/11/violin-fingering-chart Good luck!

thank you so much!
Thank u for this video
On Polish YT there is no such useful tutorial. Keep developing this channel please. U have my subscription
Thanks
What software are you using to create this video? I'm a string teacher and would like to develop my own series.
I used Photoshop to create the fingerboard, etc. then Adobe Premiere Pro. Contact me if you'd like to chat about projects!
