Teach Yourself Violin Quickly
People have always told me that it is not possible to really teach yourself violin and that it is certainly not possible to teach yourself violin quickly but I totally disagree. I think people who say this are probably being a bit snobby about it. You don’t have to get to a professional standard before you can get satisfaction and pleasure from playing the violin. Sure if your particular dream is to play for the New York Philharmonic then yes you’d better go right ahead and get those private lessons because chances are you ain’t going to get there on your own. If , however, you have your sights set slightly lower then go right ahead and teach yourself. Whenever people say to me it’s not possible I just point out that a fiddle is a violin and in the grand old Irish tradition you just l learn to play by ear because any fiddle teacher worth his salt won’t be giving you music to read and he’ll tell you that it’s not about perfection it’s about the craic. And if you don’t know what that means look it up on Wikipedia!
