Top 10 Violin Songs for Beginners

Easy Songs for Beginner Players

Looking for some easy songs to play on the violin? Learning violin can be tricky at first, but these 10 classics will have you on your way in no time! For a beginner, it’s easiest to play songs on the highest strings- E and A. I also recommend playing songs in the key of A and D major, as the finger patterns will stay the same. All of these songs consist of simple melodies with basic rhythms and repetitive forms.

1. Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

3. Go Tell Aunt Rhody

5. Old Joe Clark 

7. Can Can

9. Mary had a Little Lamb

2. Boil ‘em Cabbage Down

4. Ode to Joy

6. Row, Row, Row Your Boat

8. Jingle Bells

10. Amazing Grace
