My sister bought a violin online in trademe.co.nz for $35 (auction)
but is $300 in stores (as the seller says:P) , BRAND NEW
ANYWAY
I tried playing (as if) the violin
butttt to my dismay,
1.) (queston erased, dont wanna edit)
2.) How do we know if the violin is playable…what do you call the
BOW or something the stick you use to play the violin lol
3.) is it possible to be self taught playing the violin?
4.) is it really necessary that you can read notes
ANY TIPS FOR STARTERS?
D:
nomoney for lessonsss
but to my dismay*, I tried playing with the bow (imitated those on tv haha) there was NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
sound.
why is that?
Okay, first off, yes, you have to read music to play. Not everyone does, but you can’t truly play the instrument to it’s full extent without knowing how to read music. I’m sure many people disagree, but I play two instruments (flute and piano) and I’ve seen many disastrous attempts by people who THINK they can play without reading music, and it’s not pretty. I don’t play violin, but I figure that you’ll be a lot better off if you take lessons. Most aren’t really all that pricey. $15-$20 a lesson isn’t really that bad, if you ask me. (That’s how much they are where I live) For the 2nd question, you don’t, unless someone who knows how to play it does. If you bought it for $30, you probably got what you paid for. at least you’re not out much if it’s a crap violin and doesn’t work. I wasn’t trying to sound rude, but there’s not really another way to put it.
