Should I Play Violin?

Am I too old to learn how to play violin? Am I too young to learn how to play the violin? If you’re reading this, odds are you fall into the former instead of the latter, but I’ve heard these concerns all too often. If you want to learn how to play violin, then learn! If the desire is there, everything else will fall into place. You are guaranteed to learn how to play the violin masterfully if you care enough about your instrument to want to play it, to hear the sounds, to practice. So first ask yourself these questions:

1. How many hours a week do you plan on spending to learn how to play violin?
2. Do you deem the effort towards your desired result worth your time?

If you have a real plan to execute, you’ll learn how to play violin in time. You simply have to be dedicated to allotting that amount of time every week practicing. If you don’t have a plan, your violin may just end up as a dust collector in the corner. The second question concerns not whether you can, but whether you should learn how to play violin. I never advise anyone to pursue something they do not truly want.

Truthfully, I’ve heard 13 year olds ask if they’re too old to play violin, and I wanted to slap the people in their life that taught them to think there might be things they can’t do. Vision and persistence pave the road to anything you wish to achieve. If you want to learn how to play violin, the only thing stopping you is doubt, or worry. People may judge you, call you a fool, but I believe it is the fool lives in other people’s reality; a wise man creates his own.
