Unless he is a genius (he is not, there are no geniuses on the internet, that's the rule) he'd have a hard time figuring out music - the whole of it, not technique, not theory, not repertoire, no music - on his own. | |

| Jul 7, 2015 at 6:11 | comment | added | aozora | What do you mean about moving the finger behind to place your finger? Can you elaborate? Anyways I am a male. And I think my hand is like half a ruler long so about 6 inches. Don't know what that is in meters sorry. About the viola the sound it produce is lower right than violin? But are they the same nonetheless? Like their notes? | |
