Hello Krishnan,
I am a beginner. I have some suggestions.
1. Find a violin teacher, a live one. They know music theory forward and backward.
They teach this stuff to 5 year old kids. We don't present much of a challenge.
They know what a mandolin is. They will correct other things you didn't ask about.
Their teaching rate is not expensive.
2. There are videos on the www. I watched some of these.
Violin Viola Masterclass
3. Practice some scales. I have attached the violin fingering chart which is the same
as a mandolin. I circled in red the notes in the key of D (A,B,C#,D,E,F#,G), which
is common. I left the credits for the original source of the chart. Practice going up
and down notes in the the key of D scales. After a few times if you hit a note not in
the scale you will know right away. You won't need an app to tell you.
4. My teacher would remind me do this in time with a metronome. Start slow and
gradually increase the speed.
That is my suggestion.
