Is it Hard to Learn to Play Violin as an Adult?

I have been asked, How hard is it to start to play violin as an adult?

You might have heard the violin is the  most difficult instrument to play…

The wonderful, Itzhak Perlman

However, if you start to play the violin and put in the work, you can get beautiful results a an adult beginner!

Learning music can be compared to learning a language.  It takes time and practice

As an adult you are used to learning things. Your memory works better, you analyze things better and you can comprehend things.  You are far more developed than a child in many areas. Besides that you have already learned another language being your mother tongue. The same way you can learn to speak a language, you can learn to play music. 

Will it be hard or difficult? Yes, absolutely!

Bowed instruments are difficult to learn. They are very complex and sensitive instruments, so it takes a lot of good quality lessons and good quality practice to be able to play some simple tunes beautifully and achieve the realistic goal described above.

Are you committed to do what it takes? Is your goal realistic? Is the time path to achieve this goal realistic? If so, you will be able to succeed!
