Violin
It’s thought the first violin was constructed around 1555 by Andrea Amati, although no one is sure of the exact year. Originally having only 3 strings, the violin has evolved over the years, giving us the modern day violin. The violin is the smallest and highest-pitched of the string instrument family. Violins are important instruments in a wide variety of musical genres – they are most prominent in the Western classical tradition and in many varieties of folk music.
When choosing to study the violin, it is vital that the correct technique be learnt from the onset. That is why it is so important to study this instrument with a seasoned violinist. At the NW Musikon, our violin students are trained by our own virtuoso, Wim Wybenga, a violin specialist with more than 30 years experience in playing. Thus you can rest assured that your child will receive only the best quality education.
