Question!!!!
I'm finally getting the chance to learn how to play the Violin, but I won't be starting till next month(lessons), so I need to know is it easy or hard when you first start?,i'm still going to learn how to play either way but it would be nice to be prepared a little.

Heres a tip: It sounds absolutely terrible when you first start playing arco (using the bow). When you're just plucking, it sounds fine, but when you start playing for real, you'll have to put a lot of work into it. Oh, and you might get tired holding up the Violin for ages, but that's probably because you tense a lot when you first start.

Overall, just relax, and work at it.

I can play viola and violin and a little bit of guitar but my band teacher doesn't like guitars for some reason.

I play a lovely factory made (but still beautiful-sounding) violin named Stephan. heart We used to have some issues about his gender (he used to be named Saraphina), but we have now resolved those problems. I have been playing Stephan for about a year now, but for about 4 and half years earlier, I played other violins. I also have a cheap electric named Lorelei. I am currently in a school orchestra, youth symphony, and alternative orchestra. I also take private lessons and have played in chamber groups, jazz band, and I have a permanent duet partner (usernameshateme). heart

I've been playing violin since the 4th grade and now i'm in 10th grade, but next year I'm thinking of switching to cello because I like the tone of it and there are always lots of violins, but never enough cello players, at least at the school orchestra's i've been in

You'll just need to learn bass clef if you don't already know it.
I think it would be better for you to go to Viola since there's never enough Violists, and it's similar to a violin.
