Hold the violin by your side then place under your chin as illustrated by
the two images.
Your posture with the violin should be very close to your normal posture without the violin. Take care to keep both shoulders back and to look straight ahead throughout the movement. Do not clamp down on the violin with your chin, this can be a common cause of neck ache particularly when a shoulder rest is used. |   |

 The above image shows the correct angle of the violin looking down from high above at the top of the head and shoulders of the violinist. The violin should be pointing half way between straight ahead and left. |
