How I Have Learned to Play Violin

When I was a child my grandfather had played the violin. His work was with big orchestra. He played there for about 30 years. The good part is that from time to time he would play at home for me, and I really enjoyed it.  I was so fascinated as I saw the bow move over the strings and could not believe that anyone can master this beautiful instrument the way my grandpa did.

I have tried to talk my granddad into teaching me how to play the violin, but he did not have enough time and eventually my parents hired me a teacher. When we met, I thought she was nice. Over time, though those lessons became a living nightmare to me and I decided to quit. I have tried really hard, but then the joy just faded away. She did not made the lessons fun and enjoyable. I watched her and over time I thought to myself that she hates the violin.

Once I turned 14 I was really in love with the sound violin makes and thought it was so romantic.  I tried to learn the violin over again but without a teacher coming to our house. My grandfather recommended a book he knew would help, so we went to the store with my parents and bought it.But did it work? Nope. I became frustrated very quickly. This time I had to understand everything my self. The book is just a book after all. It does not show you how to play at all. My brain refused to understand the concepts. It just felt wrong. I couldn’t read the music. I just gave up again. Sound familiar yet? I really believe this is true!

The violing was not for me. I had to tell myself that it is simply impossible to learn and that I just don't have a gift for it. I was so wrong, and the time had to go by for me to understand it. I had all but lack of hope of sounding anywhere near the way my granddad did on the violin. Obviously I was a person that was hard to teach any traditional way. I had failure after failure every time I have tried. But just a short time ago I have a new exciting way to learn how to play the violin.

While doing the research I have stumbled upon a very great website. It took me while to find it, but the way it was made felt really personal. I was free. No need for nasty teachers! This was a true freedom. I did not have to read the book with a hope to understand any of the advanced language, only a few could actually get. I did find an easy way that looked like it was made just for me.

By now, I have learned a lot from that website. I know that I am just far away from my grandfather. The truth is that I am now on my way to master the violin the way he did. It is just amazing, how actually easy it is to learn how to play the violin, how to deliver this beautiful music. Even my friends enjoy me playing now. If you too want to learn how to play the violin, don’t wait! In the effort to bring lots of usefull tips on violin play I had created Know Violin website. I hope you will appreciate those efforts and enjoy it the same way I did, once I have finished it. I am 100% sure that if you give it a try, you too will easily learn how to play the violin without any frustration but with pure joy of learning the instrument.
