Eurovision

This year, the song that goes for the Eurovision festival was chosen in a program called ''Operación triunfo'', a competition where people from Spain who sing very well compete for being the best singer of that program, and they live in the same house for a few months.

The participants of ''Operación Triunfo'' sang different songs written by composers, and after that, the viewers of the program voted their favorite song. At the end of the night, the jury recounted the votes and announced what was the winning song and the singer who was going to represent Spain in Eurovision festival.

The violin

Hello guys! today I'm gonna talk about the instrument I'm learning, the violin.

The violin is a wooden string instrument, it is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the family in regular use, in the orchestras, this instrument is usually used to play the main theme or the melody of the scores because of their capacity of playing high notes and their type of sound.
This instrument has four strings tuned in perfect fifths (G, D, A, E) , and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across its strings, but it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers (pizzicato) and by striking the strings with the wooden side of the bow (col legno).


There are also electric violins, they are used in concerts of a soloist in a big auditory, usually pop concerts, because you can connect them to a speaker so you can hear it thoughout all the auditory. 
There are a lot of original designs of electrics violins!!! Some of them are:

 
 These are the most important parts of the violin:

Bridge: Used to sostain the strings

F-holes: Used to let the sound enter inside the violin.

Fine tuners and pegbox: Use to tune the violin.

Chinrest: Used to sustain the neck of the violinist.

Strings: Used to produce the sound.



In an orchestra, there are two different types of violins, first violins and second violins.
The first violins used to play the melody of the score, and the second violins used to play the accompainment. I will talk about the orchestra and their components in a different entry very soon!!!
