According to musical history, religious music preceded any secular music including cultural folk music, which was not considered as legitimate worldwide until the late 17th century, but was challenged as early as medieval times. This fact reflects the faith values of humanity, being first and foremost and also because it was more universal in its ideas, easily shared over the world, especially Europe. The conflict of war is responsible for generating musical styles that deal with human survival, including genuine narratives. Cultural trauma was first noticed by the break from monk incantations and notably the Troubadours.
For anyone who has been to the Jmu spring string thing what do you need to take?
They will provide a list of things that you need in the mail, but you will need your basic necessities for a weekend such as hygenic supplies, clothing, bedding, instrument, although it's a good idea to bring something to help by time if [in case] you are stuck due to rain. On occasion it rains down in JMU and it was so horrible that everyone had to remain indoors at their practice rooms for hours. Bring spare strings along with an umbrella. It wouldn't be smart to take anything valuable like jewelry or your iPod. Bring some extra money for the vending machines, and have a fun weekend!

If authentic, it would sell in the millions of dollars. However, it is unlikely to be an authentic Stradivarius. The Stradivarius model has become the most standard violin model to copy, and many German factory makers of the late 19th to mid 20th century especially put the name Stradivarius with a year on their instruments. If it would be one of these instruments, it could still be worth between $1000 and $3000 dollars.

What is the difference between a violin and viola?
A viola is bigger than a violin and has a lower pitch. A viola's sound also tends to carry more because it has a fuller sound if played right.
Like the violin, they come in 4 standard sizes: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full size.
A violin has a high E string but a viola doesn't. Instead, a viola has a low C string as its lowest string, instead of the G string which is lowest on a violin.
It is not just the size (most violas are between 15 and 17 inches long): a viola player is going to read music mainly in the Alto Clef whilst a violinist reads music in the Treble Clef. (But both occasionally read the other clef.)
More details
A violin and a viola have differently tuned strings. They both have A, D, and G strings but the viola has a low C string and the violin has a high E string. The sound of the strings will also sound deeper since the viola is bigger and has a overall lower register of possible notes than the violin.
The viola bow is slightly larger than a full-sized violin bow and a bit sturdier. Playing the instruments is quite different as it takes a good deal more bow pressure and a more dramatic (or aggressive) technique for the viola, in order to get a good strong sound.
Many viola-ists begin as violinists. It is difficult for children to handle a viola and most students cannot manage a full-sized viola until their teen years. And finally, the bigger the viola, the more resonance; this is an eternal struggle. (How large can the instrument get and still be playable?)
The main tuning of the strings of a viola can be described as one octave higher than the 'cello and one octave lower than the violin.
1) A viola is slightly larger.
2) A viola doesn't have the highest violin string (the E string) but instead has a string 5 notes lower than the violin can reach (the C string).
3) Viola music is generally written in the tenor clef, whereas violin music is written in treble clef.

What vibrates when you play the violin?
The bow makes the string vibrate. The vibrations are transferred through the bridge to the instrument top. Vibrations are transferred from the top to the back side through a sound post. So, pretty much the whole body vibrates.
Do cellos violins clarinets and saxophones sound well together?

What is the difference between a violin and a viol?
A viol is a member of a family of early stringed instruments made in the 16th and 17th centuries. They have flat backs and fretted fingerboards like a modern acoustic guitar. They usually have six strings and are played with a bow which is curved in a convex shape.
The modern family of stringed instruments - violin, viola, violoncello ('cello) and double bass - were invented later. All members of the modern family have curved backs. All have four strings except the double bass which can sometimes have five. They have no frets on their fingerboards, which allows the player to sound many more notes and also to play harmonics. They are played with a bow which has a concave shape which enables the bow hair to be stretched more tightly, allowing players to use a wide variety of different bowing techniques.
