Category: Learn To Play Violin

i’m need to learn how to play violin and i want to get good before school starts, so if you know an online website that I can use that would be great! Thanks!

Which should I learn to play? I cannot make up my mind.

I am 26 and me and my wife are living in different states due to work. I want to learn to play an instrument and she plays the violin and said she would give me one to learn with.

I have never played an instrument, and do not know how to read music. Can I at this age really learn this instrument? How difficult is it? Will I ever be able to play by ear?

So I’m 19, and completely new to the world of classical music. Nevertheless, I’d like to learn to play the violin. What I need is: learn how to read notes, buy a violin, and learn to play it (of course).
But I’m afraid that I’m just too old and ignorant to learn to play.

1) Is it ok to buy a really cheap (low quality) violin just to learn how to play and then buy a better one once I’ve gotten better?
2) Is it a problem that I can’t read notes yet? Will they teach me at whatever school I go to? Or can I “homeschool” myself?

I keep being told that the violin is one of the instruments you need to start with when you’re still little, otherwise, you won’t be able to learn to play it that well. Is this true? Am I too old to start?

The only instrument I can play is the piano, and even that was self taught so I never learned to play it well or to read sheet music.
