Composer-violinists were common in the Baroque era. Sometimes violinists can be identified by a red fleck on the left side of their neck, commonly known as the violin hickey. This is due to long contact of the corpus of the violin with the neck, which the players normally hold on their left side. To freely move the left hand to press the strings, the violin is mostly only supported by the neck and the shoulder, sometimes using a shoulder rest, sometimes not. Nevertheless, some players do support the instrument with their left hand. Today, the Suzuki Method is a common tool for teaching beginning and intermediate violinists basic skills. Because western styles of music use the violin heavily, violinists have a wide range of music styles to choose from - Bluegrass , Country , Classical , New Age , Jazz , Pop , Rock , and many other genres of music.
