What I sound like when I first learned violin

[rexyeung]

As a violinist, I can confirm my collar bone is very painful after playing without a shoulder rest

[ella_rose]

As someone who's played violin for 8 years, I'm still learning basic techniques, as well as how to tolerate double stops

everyone is forgetting how cello, viola and bass are also classical instruments which deal with these exact things. its not just violin problems

As someone who started violin two months ago, funny how I find this both terrifying and motivating. I thought surely there would be no way we’d have to worry about complex chords since you can’t really play two strings at once. Apparently not.

I also feel less crazy for the days where I play an entire piece and scratch the A string the entire time. Why wasn’t that a thing yesterday?? It’s clear I’ve chosen a very complicated hobby to start at age 40 but I suppose that will keep it interesting. 😂

I think every instrument is hard in it's own way. I cannot speak for strings but I think wind and string instruments are both hard. You must have good lungs to play a wind instrument or you have to find the approach. I think we shouldn't compare our instruments. Every instrument sounds good in it's own way and is hard in it's own way

Piano is Like:

Right Hand: HEY CAN YOU COOPERATE!
Left Hand: YOUR THE ONE WHO'S NOT COOPERATING!
*Brain looks at both hands*
Brain: It ain't my fault

"Can I try?"
"Yes you can"


Said no musician ever.

Cellos and basses are one of the most respected orchestra instrument players in my school because of the fact that the instrument is significantly bigger than a violin and a viola. Especially basses because you have to stand up in order to play the bass. No surprise the cellos and basses are amazing at their jobs.

*And they ask you how you are, and you just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine, but you just can't get into it because they would never understand.*

I have a question for all the violin players. Was it hard to get started? Is it hard to memorize all the notes? Was it hard to play? Do you cut yourself cut while playing? And is it a good idea to start practicing with violin as soon as possible when you want to (like in school what I’m saying is should I start the orchestra classes when I want to learn).

Edit: wow u guys rlly blew up the like button o-o I didn’t know asking questions would be entertaining

"Hard to make a sound"

Every wind instrument: *hold my beer*
