<33 So I've been wanting to take violin for months but I finally decided a few days ago that I actually wanted to take lessons. I asked my mom and I probably can't start for a few months anyway. Does anyone here take violin? If so some tips and what are the advantages/disadvantages. I the violin is challenging and but I'm ready for it. <33

I played violin for 3 years until I switched to percussion. Its a beautiful instrument but I quit after awhile. It got somewhat boring because we didn't learn much new music. If you really want to do it, go for it. =]

<33 Yeah, I'm afraid I won't like it and get bored.
But if I quit, my mom would be really angry because I never stick to anything. She doesn't trust me and I want to prove that I can 3nodding <33

I took violin last year...it was pretty fun except for the finger stretching to all right places on the strings and to be exactly how many centimeters apart....but other wise it was fun.^^
Well good luck and hope you have fun!

X.o x.o x.o [!] o.x o.x o.X
I've been playing for 8 years now. 3nodding
It's a swell instrument and I enjoy it a lot, it's just that it takes a few years to get comfortable with and a bunch of time.
After that, then it's really fun.
I say go for it. heart

I've been taking violin since I was 3/4. Well, the first thing is to realize that playing violin is a challenge (which you've already done) and that it's a commitment... you have to have time for it, like everything else. A HUGE part in starting violin is getting a great teacher. As long as you're disciplined and ready to work hard at it, your violin should be fine, although there are certain people that just have more talent than others (AKA not me gonk ) . It helps if you've already had some musical experience and you can read notes or something. Sometimes shorter limbs and appendages can make playing more difficult, and starting young is easier than starting at an older age, but that's not a big deal. Also, enjoying the sounds that you're making (mostly classical music) is important. It will help you with phrasing and flavor in you pieces. Try listening to some recordings and get a feel for the music. Depending on how far you want to go with violin, you should pick the right violin for you. (If violin is just going to be a hobby, get a less expensive violin.) Don't get a full size violin just because it sounds better and more resonant. Pick a violin that suits you. I like playing violin a lot, so if you take it, you'll probably enjoy it (even if you do have short arms). I think you should take it... if you can responsibly. That probably wasn't very helpful... sorry. It probably sounded like some sort of lecture.

 Oh snap the Skittles......I played the violin for 2 years in school.
I wasn't allowed to take it the third year do to a "disagreement" with the new music teacher we had in the second year. (He didn't like me for whatever reason, so he always tried to argue with me)
I loved playing it.
I still have my violin and I plan to pick it up again once i move. (hopefully at the end of the year) ......found your acid stash
