In this video, I’m going to show you how to easily play Havana on the violin

The Havana song has basically has 3 main melodic sections. There is a main Havana theme which repeats 3X and a chorus, which is split into 2 sections. The first section repeats 4X and the second part repeats 2X. The fingerings look like this:

Trumpet plays the main theme and there are parts where she just riffs, you can play the main theme, the chorus or variations on both of them and it’ll work out great!
