What are the factors in determining how fast you can learn the violin?
If you are reading this article, then you must be in one of two situations: either you are considering learning the violin, or you have just started learning the violin and now wonder how long it will take to master playing the violin. In either case, this article will let you know what the key factors are in determining how fast you learn the violin.
Actually, if you are just starting out in learning how to play the violin, you really should focus on picking up the correct bowing techniques and building a solid foundation instead to wondering how fast you can learn the violin. You should be aware that in rushing to do anything, especially in learning a new skill such as playing the violin, you are robbing yourself the joy of the journey in mastering the instrument.
- Have the right attitude
In the beginning, you may find that you progress very fast when you first start to learn to play the violin. Then subsequently at the intermediate level, many people find that they are stuck and that their violin playing skill does not improve. This is when most people give up.
The first factor in determining how fast you learn the violin is your attitude towards mastering the skill. Adopt a positive outlook as that will aid you when at times, you feel that you may never be able to play the violin properly. It is common for anyone to face setback when learning the violin. The important thing is not to let it overwhelm you and keep on the determination to learn.
- Practice constantly
As in learning any new skill, devote at least half an hour to an hour a day to perfect your bowing techniques and learn to read music notes properly. Train your ear so that you play in perfect pitch.
For many people, in the beginning they ensure that they practice every day. Then the mundane nature of the routine tires them out and they soon lost interest. You must never let that happen. Remember that only through practicing can you perfect your violin playing skills and make fast progress.
You will need to have the determination and discipline in learning the violin so you can progress quickly.
- Start with a quality violin and violin bow
Many new beginners have the perception that because they are new in learning to play the violin, the music instrument can be one that is of a certain pricing and quality that is quite low. They may think that they save money by starting out with a chearper instrument, however what they do not realise is that a music instrument of low or inferior quality actually arrest their growth as a musician.
The reason is that cheap violins do not produce nice tonal quality and because they are not properly set up, the sound produced by the instrument is squeaky. The strings of the violin may hurt your fingers.
As such I always advise my customers to start off with a reasonably good quality violin and violin bow. This will accelerate your learning process and you will find that learning the violin is pure pleasure.
