1. You need a violin! I’ve heard many people, interested in learning violin, ask if they need to buy one. It is possible to rent, but the bottom line is that if you put in part time effort, you’ll get part time results. You’ll learn to play violin, but you won’t learn quickly and you won’t become great at it. You develop muscle memory through regular practice, not intermittent sessions, which brings me to the second thing on my list.

2. Practice violin regularly. When learning violin you must have a commitment of a certain amount of hours you’re going to play per week. Decide how much you want to invest in learning, write it down, and schedule time to learn to play violin.

3. If you’re only going to be practicing violin a few times a week, I’d recommend you set aside one area in your home for violin playing. This will put you in the mindset to be learning violin whenever you go there. If you’re practicing daily, I don’t think it matters as much as you’re more apt to stay in the correct mindset all the time.

4. Relax when playing violin; tense fingers don’t move as smoothly. When you’re tense, odds are you’re going to be focused on something besides learning violin in the first place. Loosen up, stretch, whatever relaxes you before you decide to play. You don’t need to be taking out your hostilities on your violin strings.

5. Take care of your violin. It doesn’t matter if you’re a master or a novice, if your instrument isn’t tuned and taken care of, it will sound terrible or eventually fail on you altogether. Violin care includes things like keeping the bow rosined, keeping the dust off the violin (in time it may grow to bond with the varnish), and not touching or over tightening the hair.

If you’re passionate about learning violin, this shouldn’t be too hard of a list to follow. I understand that in many cases, violins can be expensive, but there are quality instruments that can be found cheaply. Good luck learning violin!

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.
