Is The Violin Hard To Play

By Kay Coleman


The violin is just like any other musical instrument. In no way will you have to be a musical genius or a gifted concerto violinist to get started.

Practicing the violin at home is easy; just give yourself time to learn the basic skills in handling and playing the instrument itself.

Some people are born lucky and have the ability to learn and master the basics of any subjects in a matter of days. The rest of us mere mortals take that little bit longer. Remember that it does not matter how long it takes to master your scales and violin lessons, just play and enjoy yourself.

This applies to anyone who wants to learn the violin at home.

Over 20 years ago,people did not have much choice when it came to their musical education. If a you wanted to learn how to play the violin you had two options one hire a personal mentor or sign up for a local music class.

The two above choices were fine but today many peoples time are limited and getting to classes is not a viable option. Today we have the internet which allows people to enjoy playing their instruments in the comfort of their own homes via master classes that are availiable online.

A lot of these classes offer a free trial to get you started then if happy you will have two options . First buy the complete course in one go,or pay on a monthly subscription.

The only downside to the above is not being able to interact with other students who have the same skill level. However most people starting out hate the idea of other people hearing their practice sessions so i guess its not really a problem for beginners.

If you are wary of other students or advanced practitioners, then I suggest that you sign up for online violin classes first, and then enroll in a music class later if you have the time and resources to do so.

The great thing about learning online first is that it allows you to learn the basic skills necessary should you wish to enroll in a music class.

On no accounts should you buy sheet music until you are able to play with ease. You need to build your technique first,as this is the most important part of your music education.
