So you want to learn to play the violin? The good news is that you can! What's more, you can do so in a way that's both rewarding and fun. You can learn to play the violin without leaving your house, even. All you need is a program as comprehensive and intuitive as ViolinMasterPro.
Now, you should know that learning the violin can feel a bit daunting, especially if you have never heard the instrument in your hands before. If you feel intimidated by your instrument, do not feel silly. Many people felt that way, too, when they began their lessons. So did I.
But remember, you crawl before you walk; you walk before you run. In the same manner, you can't be a pro at making beautiful music without going through the learning stage first. Here are a few tips that will surely come handy as you learn to play the violin.
Don't have the money to buy your own instrument? Don't. Rent it instead. Believe it or not, specialty shops have violins you can rent. So do some music stores.
If your hands hurt the first few times you play music, don't give up. Don't feel put off by that either. Yours are not the first pair of hands to ache as a result of practice. They won't be the last. You will find that the longer you practice, the more you improve finger strength.
You can scrimp on just about anything lessons-wise (except for the learning resources you use, of course) but do not ever try to cut corners on your shoulder rest. Get one. If you don't, you will surely end up with very sore neck and shoulders.
Finally, don't forget to enjoy the music! You may not qualify for a position in an orchestra yet but hey, who says you can't enjoy music when you hear it? Or, in your case, while you learn to play it?
