Violin lessons?
Is it possible to get violin lessons without the help of a school music program? im 15 and i want to play violin really badly but i hear its really difficiult. I would try to practice myself but i cant read musical notes. Can anyone tell me how or where to get violin lessons that start from scratch?
Start at the local school. Even if you’re not in their program, they should have lists of teachers they can refer you to. I am a violin teacher and I have taught students of all ages how to play “from scratch.” Most violin method books start on the assumption that you can’t read music. There are books that progress quickly and others that take things slowly. Most older students can go more quickly than small children (not always). You will go at your own pace, and a private teacher will allow you to do so. Prices vary in different areas of the country.
You’ll also need to get an instrument. If you’re 15, you’re probably aboug “full grown” so you will use a full size (4/4) instrument. Local music stores have them to rent to you. I don’t recommend buying an instrument until you’ve taken lessons for at least a few months, if not a year or so. Then you can get a nicer student instrument. Some music shops do a “rent to own” program.
Good luck! Violin is difficult, but lots of people learn it every day, and it is not so difficult that it is not do-able! You are very motivated to play, and being motivated to practice is more than half of learning to play. It takes a while to get the hang of it, so be patient with yourself.
