                Many child and adult wonders have existed on the internet right now and as young as 3 years old and as old as 60 or up, they have run their fingertips through those strings without any problem. If you have watched a thousand videos on how to play the violin, have you ever seen their accessories? Whatever they may be, these items have played a major role. Check out these common must-haves while learning how to play the violin and they are written below:

1.       The Case

This is the most important violin accessory you should have because the case serves as the number one protector of your very expensive violin. You need a hard case, one that is durable because you need something that wouldn’t get damaged easily through time. You need it for carrying and for storing whenever you’re not using it. You will be comforted with the fact that your violin will be protected from any humidity, dust, and also prevent any dents or scratch from happening.

2.       The Shoulder and Chin Rest

This is a tool which is slightly bent upward to support your shoulder and your violin while you are playing. The shoulder rest is an adjustable piece and which can is operated to any height depending on your liking. It will give you a good leverage as you play along, and it prevents the instrument from slipping. The Chin Rest is to help proportion your violin and your jaw/chin. Remember that playing the violin requires you to recline your head and it can be a bit tiring or painful if you’re not used to it. This is why you need the “rest” equipment to help you out of it.

3.       The Music Stand

The one beautiful thing about playing the violin is that you can easily read through notes which can be found through music sheets. If you’re still learning, then there is a fat chance that you would need this sheet to guide you through while. The Music Stand provides you the leverage of comfortable looking at your notes as you go through your set list. Of course, don’t forget your sheet music or book while you’re at it.
