Violin Lounge TV Q&A about the basics of positions:
"Hello, Its me Valyncia McNeil with, yet another question. Since I am teaching myself to play the violin. I would like to know the meanings of 1st position, 2nd position and 3rd position. What does it look like on musical measures? and how does it apply when playing? Much thanks."

What are the advantages of position playing?

When can you learn to play in position?

Love,

Zlata
