whilst constantly practicing, for inspiration, i've been
listening to so much classical music i feel as tho my head
is going to explode.
i knew violin was gonna be hard but omg... i've been
practicing for almost 4 months now, and i still sound like
shit!
anyone else play violin?

I've tried a violin... I managed to figure out how the scale
goes and where the fingers had to be, but nothing more.

otherwise I play piano-ish things, didjeridoo, mouthharp, a
tad guitar (who doesn't), bass (easy), and anything I can
get my hands on.

yeah, I think you really NEED lessons for violin.

it's not a "tempered" instrument, so you can play in tune,
but not on key without knowing it.

I knew this guy who played violin. He wasn't the brightest,
or most tallented guy. He taught himself. He had been doing
it for a couple years, and he was competent enough on his
own. He was just persistent.

If you want my advice, save the money. Learning violin on
your own, with some patience from yourself, and a lot of
patience from your friends and family, can be accomplished.
If they complain, just tell them to feel lucky that you are
not learning the theremin.

if you are going to teach yourself, you'll need a reference
whenever you play. You need to be on key.

I studied violin for five years, but had to quit the music
school; my violin was crashed in a crowded bus then. I
haven't had violin in my hands since that and now I'm not a
violin player.. I play piano (but my technique is shit). I'm
lucky that i still can sing.

i just want to learn more on how to read sheet music. anyone
know any good sites?
i think violin is one of the most avante guarde (sp?)
instruments out there to create your own music with, which
is why i don't understand why it's so damn hard to learn.
it's getting a bit frusterating i guess.

if you want to stay in tune playing the violin without
having lessons will be HARD. i think it's possible but if
you don't want to take any lessons i suggest you try out the
guitar or the piano..

I've been playing Guitar for 5 years and I just recently got
an Alto Saxophone, but it is hard to practice when your mom
is the biggest music nazi around.
Anyway, I think you should definitly take lessons. I think
it's important that your tutor challenges you and asks you a
lot of questions on theory too, that way you'll become a lot
more musical as well as advancing on your principal
instrument, Good luck.

Just because no one has mentioned the pink oboe yet doesn't
mean that I should.

not yet, marlowe. But honestly, I've never met anyone else
who didn't like at least some music. She does occasionally
relegate herself to watching the X Factor on saturday
evenings though, shameful.

I've played guitar for about 6-7 years, but I'm not
particularly passionate about it anymore... occasionally I
do sit down with it, but my skills seem to have stopped
evolving. I always play the same riffs or solos when I pick
it up and fuck around. It's still fun to jam along with some
open-ended blues rock or whatever, but I'm not learning much
anymore, not getting much better. It's my fault.

don't get frustrated too easily, i've been leraning piano
for half a year now and of course i'm still a bloody
beginner. sometimes it's really a pain and things go
backwards even (that's when your ears get better). violin is
an awsome instrument but it's harder to start with i guess,
you have to learn more in the beginning.

i have some programs for learning the sheet music thing, its
quite tough, for example 'piano professor'.

oh.. and you need lessons. you'd not believe how many
mistakes you make in rythm and intonation without even
noticing. also, he can help you with many little tricks when
learning. first thing i noticed was that my ears improved.
you also need backup and someone who tells you that you
actually improve. but it's a really long way i guess

i practiced the piano for something like 6 years when i was
a kid...... but i forgot it, and i guess 6 years as a kid
were barely worth 6 months (or 6 weeks?) as an adult ' _'
