Easy Beginner Violin Rhythms: The Quarter Note!

Do you know how to play quarter notes on the violin? Quarter notes are considered the most basic of all rhythms as they are almost always 1 beat (or count) long. Most beginner violinists will begin by playing simple rhythms such as quarter notes, in addition to eighth notes and sixteenth notes.

Learning violin? Make sure that you know the names of your "Open" violin strings and how to read them as violin sheet music! The "open" strings are what the strings sound like when they are not being pressed down by any fingers. If you are reading music, open strings might be indicated by a zero written above the note head.

The violin has four strings. From highest to lowest their names are: E, A, D and G. I recommend memorizing what these open strings look like when written as violin sheet music. It will help you as you start learning how to press the fingers down on each string, which will create new pitches (More on that later)!

If you are a beginner violin player and you are intimidated by the idea of learning to read music, don't be! Reading music does not need to be mysterious or hard- and it can actually be fun once you get the hang of it!
