What is the Iranian violin?
Traditional and classical Iranian violins are different. For example, in the classical style, the tuning is always fixed, but in the Iranian style, different tunes are used. In classical style, the violin is always played with other instruments, and in most cases with the piano. While the Iranian violin solo is more famous, different tunings are used to compensate for the other sounds and ease of fingering. In the Iranian violin training class, books such as the Ruhollah Khaleghi Iranian violin training book and the Radif Saba violin book are used. These books focus on introducing different Iranian musical instruments, the corners of the instruments, teaching Iranian violin tuning, and smoothing the fingers. The important question is which one is better, Iranian or classical violin? As many students say, Iranian violin is more difficult to learn than classical and the student should get acquainted with the classical style first. Among the most important Iranian violinists, we can mention Habiba Allah Khaleghi, Parviz and Hossein Yahaghi, Abolhassan Saba, Mehdi Khaledi, Ali Tajvidi, Assadollah Malek, etc., who have played a variety of happy Iranian violin songs.
Learning music in Trois-Rivières
Although musical life in the city of Trois-Rivières was not very lively at the beginning of the 19th century and ended with the accidental passage of artists through the city, today the situation has changed completely. Like many other Canadian cities, the first bands to operate in the city were church bands, which later expanded to other styles of classical, pop, rap, hip hop, and more. Musicians such as Maurice De Celles, Pauline Julien, and Jacques Hétu have been introduced to the world from this city. There is also a very large and famous music hall called Cogeco Amphitheater, which hosts many celebrations and concerts every year. FestiVoix is a major music festival in the Mauritius area that takes place in early summer.
