Violin teaching tips tuition and playing the violin in Cornwall with violin teacher and composer Sue Aston.
The majority of violin pupils, and indeed adults, find the prospect of learning scales on the violin a chore.
I too found this to be the case, although once I had got to grips with a new scale, I would quite happily gaze through a window while repeating the same scale over and over again. This trance like state was relaxing, and I think it helped keep my nerves under control in an exam when it was time to do scales!
There are various methods of actually learning a new scale or arpeggio. One can look at the music to start with in order to learn the key signature, and to work out the relative major or minor keys, which relate to it. This is the more academic approach, and although thorough, is unlikely to fire up any enthusiasm in the pupil.
Another method is the physical approach, where the closeness or space between the fingers is observed in order to feel the tones and semitones when they occur. Pupils often find it easier to relate to, and the fingering of the scale or arpeggio can be written down with a bracket over the fingers that make a semitone. All scales should initially be practised slowly without slurs, ensuring that awkward sections are split up and practised in detail ...

in seemingly effortless performances. To get to Carnegie Hall and other prestigious venues, a violinist spends years practicing and rehearses for hours every day. And that's to say nothing of the other challenges, such as auditioning for jobs in a competitive market.

How to Play the Violin
From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection:
This is a list of tips on how to play the violin.
When holding the neck of your violin, ensure your wrist is curved and your posture is perfect in order to create a rich tone.
Make sure your left wrist does not "collapse". You should support your violin with your neck and shoulder. Your left hand must be free to move, though you can bring your thumb underneath a bit to slightly counterbalance your fingers.
Keep your fingernails trimmed short. This is important for a clear sound. You should depress the strings with the tips of your fingers on your left hand and you won't do that well with long fingernails. Also, a good vibrato will not be achieved with long fingernails ...
