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...

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...

hi all...

i learned violin for almost 3 months but seems no improvement.. i dun even can hold the bow correctly and quite hard for me to get correct note with my left hand... feel sad...

i hv to change violin teacher due to i'm not able to catch my class on time... already register another music school but yet still no teacher for me...

i wish my skill will improve after changing teacher... but i think i'm not good enuf...
i was told if you are not using good violin.. dun change to Dominant or Pirastro string (high quality string) coz it will not produce nice sound with low quality violin board...

crabjim... thanks for the links... will check it later as my company network block it...

kimmie... thanks for your encouragement... since i'm going to change teacher... i hope my skill will improve... currently i play same song for almost 3 months... feel sien... if i wan to get teacher from u, i will pm u... thanks in advance...
