Tap any note on the G, D, A and E strings to hear its pitch and see every way it can be spelled. Notes in the same row sit at the same position on all four strings — that’s the pattern worth learning.

Tap a note on the fingerboard to begin.
On the Staff
Tap a note on the fingerboard to place it on the staff.

Positions are laid out chromatically (one semitone per row) purely to show the note pattern across strings — they don’t correspond exactly to real left-hand hand positions or finger spacing on a physical violin. Frequencies assume A4 = 440 Hz equal temperament. Scroll the fingerboard to reach the second octave.
New here? Try the open strings first (top row of each column), then work down one row at a time — every step down is one semitone. Once a pattern feels familiar, jump to the Metronome to practise it in time.
