Hello. I'm very interested in learning violin and I contacted a tutor. Her price is RM100. As I also want to learn theory, she charged an additional RM30 which makes the total RM130. I want to ask, is RM100 reasonable for a beginner course in violin? What is the price Yamaha offers? I'm just doing a little comparison. Thank you.

Music background? I learnt chromatic harmonica when I was younger but I quit few years ago. I also played the trumpet in primary. I think this is considered as music background. Ya, mine is also 4 lessons per month but 45mins per lesson, I'm taking theory. I don't mind if it's hard to play violin because I'm quite determined to learn it. Thank you for replying.

THE BEST IMO Thank you for your advice! I'll be starting my lessons in next month. Ya, I heard some horrible sound violin created. Is it because of the wrong tune or what? Anyway I'll get to play soon!

QUOTE(genzunia @ Mar 18 2008, 02:33 PM) well, because unlike the guitar/piano, u dont hit the notes and get the right pitch. So i recommend playing infront of a tuner, at least u know u are playing in-pitch or off-pitch  haha dun really get u le..i thought there's a tuner that could be used on the pc anybody know where to get a cheap tuner?? haha till now i still depend on my tutor to tune it for me.. btw... dun really recommend u to get a real expensive violin as your 1st violin
