DontFret 1/2 Violin 12" Viola Don't Fret Template

The "Don't Fret" template is a self-adhesive fingerboard guide designed for string instruments like the violin and viola. It assists beginners and students in accurately placing their fingers on the fingerboard and learning proper finger positioning.

The "Don't Fret" template for a 1/2 size violin or 12" viola is specifically designed to match the dimensions of those instruments' fingerboards. It provides markings indicating where to place the fingers for specific notes or positions on the instrument.

The template is typically made of a thin, transparent material and adheres to the fingerboard. It can be easily removed without leaving residue or damaging the instrument.

The "Don't Fret" template can be helpful for beginners as a visual aid for finger placement. However, it is important to note that using a fingerboard guide is a temporary solution and should not replace developing proper finger placement and muscle memory.

While the template can provide initial guidance, it is recommended to work with a qualified teacher or instructor who can help you develop proper technique and finger positioning without relying solely on the template. A teacher can provide personalized guidance and help you gradually transition away from using the guide as you gain more experience and proficiency on the instrument.
