Let s discuss whether you want shoulder pads for the violin?

Perhaps the master will feel that the shoulder pads affect the play of feelings.

Personally, I think learners still need it, because the shoulder pads make the body flatter and more stable, and are helpful for bow movement and fingering. And even if there are shoulder pads for a long time, they will leave traces of grinding on the neck, and there are shoulder pads to cushion it. The use of shoulder pads and the length of the individual's neck are also related, girls with long necks, if they do not always use shoulder pads, there may be some damage to the neck.

That's why I think it's still necessary to use shoulder pads

First of all, shoulder pads are necessary for beginners, even those who have studied for many years. Not only because you will damage your neck or collarbone if you don't install shoulder pads, but also because if you don't use shoulder pads, it's not easy to catch the piano when practicing. After practicing in this way, the left hand will not be able to support the piano because of the shoulder, and the strength of the hand will have to be used to hold the piano.

So when you press the strings, when you change the handles, especially the soft strings, the movements are not very agile.

All in all, it's better to have shoulder pads!

This is a matter of habit, some masters don't know how to pad, but like some beginners, it's better to pad, so as not to hurt your neck.

Whether you are a beginner or not, this pad is a must. Because if you don't pad, then the center of gravity of the violin will lean forward. And the shoulders will also be uncomfortable. If you really don't want to pad, you can put a towel under the piano. I think the master is at this level!

It should be, either to pad a towel, or to buy a shoulder pad, Lu Siqing is special, he has a short neck, and the shoulder pads are too high and uncomfortable, so he ......

I was useful, I started to feel unaccustomed, now I feel super painful when I don't use.

I'm talking about it when you become a master.''

I practiced for more than ten hours when I was studying.''

I can't bear it at all'

How to Ann a violin shoulder rest? Is that so? Why is the left side high and the right side low?

Hello dear, glad to answer for you. The installation of the violin shoulder pads (shoulder rests) is as simple as clipping the shoulder pads to the back plate of the violin. The specific method is that the shoulder pad has two feet, first stuck on one side of the card on the other side, and then slowly move and adjust it until the shoulder pad is firmly stuck on the piano, and you can use your hand to shake it back and forth to try whether it is stable.

Then put it on the shoulder to try whether it is suitable, and if it is not suitable, slide appropriately to adjust the left and right positions of the shoulder pad until it fits you.

There are many types of violin shoulder pads, and there are roughly two on the market today, and their shapes and mounting positions are as follows:

Precautions: 1. Many shoulder pads are shaped in the shape of "S", and the downward bent part is installed on the right side according to the above figure.

2. Some shoulder pads can adjust the distance of L by adjusting the screws to adapt to the comfort of people with different figures.

The stability of the violin is not a dead clamp, you can not only learn the violin, but harmful to the body,,, first of all, the violin has 2 fulcrums, one is the ring formed by the base of the left index finger and the thumb, the other is the collarbone, put the violin on the collarbone, the other end is placed on the ring of the index finger and thumb,,, when we do not change the handle, we almost do not need the cheeks, we can play well, when we need to change the handle, our left cheek uses the natural weight of the head to put on the gills of the violin, Maintain the elasticity and the whole body cooperation, there is no ,.. of rigidly clamping the piano

It is better not to use shoulder pads, as if it were a human crutch, many masters never use it, one less burden is better than one more, and it is said that there is also a certain effect on sound transmission... A piano is very light, its center of gravity is between the horse and the fretboard, and the distance from the end of the instrument is about 20 cm. When playing the piano, the left arm should be turned to the right side of the piano in rudder style, and the piano should also be turned about 45 degrees to the left.

Naturally, the left shoulder should be taken forward.

I clicked on the bottom of the piano. So the piano can be placed on the shoulder. The shoulders are about 10 cm from the tail. Therefore, as long as there is 3 times the weight of the piano on the cheek rest, it can be balanced. Therefore, the gravity of the head is enough to balance the gravity of the piano, and no additional force is required.

When the support point is moved outward with a shoulder or shoulder rest, the chin is hooked on the cheek rest, and the weight on the head is enough. The downward force only needs to balance the gravity of the piano. The piano actually hangs there, not gets caught there.

Next, hold the piano in hand. The piano does not essentially need to be handheld. As mentioned earlier, the piano is hooked there very easily, and the left hand can be completely let go.

However, the downward force of the left hand when pressing the fingers should be balanced by the left thumb. Because the finger position (especially in the low position) is far from the support point of the shoulder, a small force also produces a large force distance. To balance with your jaw, you need to put a lot of force.

Not calculated. Whereas the thumb is at a point of force farther away, below"Hold on"How much force does it take to deal with the fingers above?

In addition, the fulcrum with the thumb can guide the position of the fingers.

Some people have long necks"Clips"When you play the piano, you have to shrug your shoulders, which will cause tension, so you should use a shoulder rest. And forcefully"Clips"The piano can also cause tension, so"Tick"Violin. I'm here"Tick"Qin Tong"Clips"The difference between the piano is:

The person who clamped the piano to death clamped the piano to death, like practicing"Iron cloth shirt"Kung Fu is the same, no one can play this piano up or down, left or right. It takes a lot of force, it's hard not to be nervous, and it's unnecessary.

The hooker puts the piano on the shoulder and collarbone, but the center of gravity of the piano is outward, so don't it fall off, so you should put your chin on the cheek rest to maintain balance.

Good luck with your violin studies.

The shoulder pads are used more when they are beginners, and generally after they have learned something, the violinist does not need him, because it is really not very good-looking. Khan ...The lower part of the shoulder pads is soft, which can act as a support for children or thinner people, and it is not easy to pinch pain.

And it also helps with the posture of playing the violin. Self-learners should still pay attention to posture, because this is the basis for learning the violin. If you don't learn your posture well at the beginning, it will be difficult to correct it later.

ps: I used to play the violin posture all the time not well, often felt sore hands, and then gave up... 555。。。

It's a pity to think about it now ... By the way, I would like to give you a suggestion, in an age like this, if you want to rely on books, VCR....It's hard to teach yourself an instrument, and it's best to get to know someone who can play the violin and ask them to help you in times of need.

Adopt mine, see how much I say).

Shrug your shoulders upwards and press your chin against the piano, be sure to push hard. If it hurts, put a cloth or towel on it.

If you don't use a shoulder pad with a long neck, you have to rely on your left hand to support it, so there is no doubt that it will have a great impact on the change, so if you don't want to use the shoulder pad, use a towel. As for the impact of the shoulder pad on the sound, it is mainly a psychological effect, and a good shoulder pad really doesn't make a difference, and I think those masters don't use the shoulder pad because their necks are generally thicker or shorter.

Keep your head tilted to the lower right, keep your hands steady, and tilt your left elbow to the right as much as possible. Then the fingers form an arc on the instrument.

Listen to my beauty mistakes.

If you don't need shoulder pads, put a thick towel on it.

No one can do without shoulder pads if you want to learn well.

Belch? Why don't you use shoulder pads, it's a little painful.

Be sure to have shoulder pads. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or not.

Because at the beginning of learning, you should master the most correct posture, so that you can learn more smoothly in the future. Without a shoulder pad, your left shoulder will inevitably shrug up to catch the piano, which will directly affect your left hand playing.

Note: If you don't need a hand, keep practicing until you can hold the piano firmly with your chin.

As far as I can see, there is no one who does not have a cushion for the piano now, if you don't want to buy it, take a sponge pad and put it on tightly, which is much more comfortable than a professional mat (don't think I'm a rookie, the teacher taught me).

Classmates don't need shoulder pads at the beginning of self-study、、You want to ask for it quickly, I think you still need shoulder pads at the beginning.

If you really want to do it quickly, then wear a rope at the back of the piano, and then let go of the left hand to practice, in fact, as long as you practice, you don't have to drag the piano with your left hand, (rope: because there may be times when it falls, don't feel very naïve, this works).

Hope that helps.

First of all, whether to use a shoulder rest depends on the length of your neck. If you have a short neck, it can be awkward to use a shoulder rest, but you just need a towel.

If you don't have a short or long neck, then a shoulder rest is fine.

Although there are different styles of shoulder rests on the market, there are corresponding sizes, and choosing the shoulder rest in each size according to the size of your instrument is the most suitable. The shoulder rests in each size segment are similar in size and are designed according to the size of the instrument, so there will be no oversize or underweight. This will not affect your grip.

The size of the shoulder rest generally does not affect your holding of the piano (because the size of the shoulder rest is about the same), and the key to holding the piano well is to standardize your movements. For most people, any shoulder rest is good for holding the piano. So, all you have to do is adapt.

As long as the shoulder rest can platter your shoulders, you'll be fine.
