The violin was the first instument i took up then i started piano. It took me 3 weeks before i could use the bow (i have a 1/2 hour a lesson every week) I took group lessons and i still take them i find them much more enjoyable. So far it's been about 6years. It was around 4 or 5 months before i felt comfortable using it. I started when i was 6 years old. I do consider my self good and i'd rate myself 7 out of ten (i'm probably just being modest) they only advice i would give you is when you first start practise as much as you can then about a year later it'll become easier. Although now i only practise when i feel like it It isn’t that hard to learn although it might hurt your arms and wrists at first but you get used to it.

I played handbells maybe 4 times, and took piano for about 6 months. That's it. I have always been around music, so it was pretty easy to learn. It took me a few months to really learn to play. I took it in school. I started in 4th grade, stopped at the end of 7th grade, but still play occasionally. I felt comfortable after a year, but maybe before. I am relatively okay, but out of practice. 6.7 out of 10 Just keep at it and practice ALOT. Good luck!

I play guitar, so it provided me with a little advantage over people that have never played any instrument of that type before.In my own personal experience, it took me a couple of weeks to get the hang of it. I'm not saying I was great, but I could play a few songs that weren't too complicated.If I had to rate myself on the violin, I would say I'm about a five or six at the moment.
