Never touched a violin, but I want to. I've played guitar for several years now, but would like to try my hand at violin also. Luckily, when I moved a couple months ago, I noticed there is a violin shop right up the road from my new house. When I get a little money, I plan on stopping in to see what they have. They can give me some advice on what to get, because I have no clue myself!

I like your attitude. Also, how long have you been playing? Already trying to learn Devil Trill Sonata? Tha'ts crazy. I used to play when I was around 5 or 6. I immigrated to America. stopped until age of 15... I regret this. However, to catch up to many other great musicians, I practice around 4 to 5 hours a day. I am 16 and I'm hoping to get to Vanessae Mae's level when she was around 10 or 11 at the age of 17. I am in Advanced Orchestra now (I was in Beginning strings last and and skipped Beginning Orchestra because my teacher said I was "gifted" and skipped me to Advanced:this gave me hopes) and hoping to get into Philaharmonic Orchestra and American Youth Symphony orchestra to fasten my learning.Atreides wrote:Yes, I do play the violin ...
VM got me interested to this instrument with "Violin Player"... which in turn got me interested into classical music. She was the starting point of a major change in my musical taste.
Right now i m learning Devil's Trill Sonata even with the protest of my teacher who thinks i should not tackle sutch a complex piece... it will probably take me another 6 months to complete ... but no pain no gain.
Atre.
By the way, any tips on playing violin effectively to learn faster?

Vanessa Mae rules!!!
Hey Atreides;
It's good to try learning her songs but I'm playin' violin for 4 years but I can't play... But of course I don't have a teacher to teach them to me but I can play some songs of Haendel and that sort of easy ones. Unfortunatelly no one can reach her skills ;(. But we must work hard! I started playing violin when I saw her concert. My biggest dream is to be 'our girls' co-violin player! I won't give up, that is for sure. Do you think something like that too?

Vanessa Mae is the best and always be so. That's what I believe...
