take my advice go for diploma! learning never has a fullstop! grade 8 u can't be a real teacher but with diploma cert u can. This can be ur secondary "pass time job" in future. U can any time spend ur free time teaching in future even if u come out to be a lawyer a doctor etc... ^.^ Gratz on ur grade 8

Music is to be play with heart! =)

i wanted to do my dipl(piano) since 2 yrs ago but din have the time >.< now in form 5, men, i wasted my 4 yrs doing nothing, but had been taking up violin for the past 2 yrs and last yr i switched to viola. I love viola =) its a kinda rare instru to play, but trust me its fun and i love the sound. ^^ ( I dont like solo, i love accompaniment)

hi everyone... i'm new here... i'm interest in violin... but worry i'm too old to start... yes, aunty want to learn violin...

i learned piano many years back and stop playing for years too ... anyone of you know piano and violin? which one is harder to master?

i found it is hard to get a violin teacher... anyone can recommand? i'm in kl/ cheras area...

Hi there, it's never too old to pick up an instrument, all it takes is courage.

Violin's harder imo. As they are fretless, you'ill probably spend most of time in your early lessons learning how to fret the notes, before actually playing a tune. That shouldn't put you off though... with passion and dedication, I'm sure you would be fiddling in no time. So, good luck!

Not too sure about violin teachers or violinists for that matter. Sorry, can't help.

thanks for the info...

probably will get my very first violin during raya holiday... ehm... i will go to eastern europe for holiday soon... thinking to get from there... probably will hv more choices but i think buy from there is not cheap... the worst thing is i dun know how to choose a violin... ... i think i just get opinion from SA...

I think i want to close this thread, cause i quited violin. Who can take my place?

Hi all, I just took my first violin lesson last week. Just bought a Samuel Eastman violin for RM700++ including a shoulder rest and fiber glass bow.
Its hard to hold the bow, my pinky and thumb doesn't bend into position. anyway, I still like this instruments.

Hi crabjim! glad tat i have newbie to accompany me...

btw.. i feel more comfortable to hold the bow and voilin now.. i will have my 3rd lesson tomorrow... learning scale now... G major, D major and A major...

hmm... there aint much ppl playing strings in LYN, =( anyone playing viola T.T in my area, i think only less than 5 ppl plays viola.

heh.. If string players are so few, how many woodwind and brass players will there be?

i was playing clarinet too...
plan to get a better clarinet for practice... the one i get from China is really bad... dun feel wan to touch it at all...
