Transcripts
Slavica Ilic: My name is Slavica Ilic and we are here in the International School of Music in Bethesda, Maryland. As I said earlier, violin has four strings and their names are G, D, A, and E. When we tune the instrument, we first tune A string. After we tune the A string, then we play two and two strings against each other looking for interval of perfect fifth. As I said earlier, the violin is a bowed string instrument that is tuned in fifth, that means the distance between each string is five steps which makes an interval of perfect fifth. Once we hear then two strings are in tune making a perfect fifth in tune then we move to the next two strings then next two strings.
My next clip will be about finger placement on the fingerboard.
