Teaching yourself to play the violin is not rocket science, and someone who is truly passionate about playing the instrument can thoroughly enjoy the entire process. First and foremost, you will need a violin and a bow. The size of the instrument will depend on whether you’re a child or an adult. If purchasing the instrument poses a financial challenge, renting is an alternative option. Essential items include rosin to apply on the bow, cloth to wipe off rosin residue on the violin, and a tuner to maintain accurate pitch.

Believe it or not, it is possible to self-teach the violin if you have access to the right resources. In fact, you can learn the basics of the violin within two weeks and progress at a faster rate than if you had a teacher. This article will provide you with a broad overview of what it takes to teach yourself the violin.

Developing a Unique Style

Teaching yourself the violin allows you to grow as a musician What Is A Musician? - For some individuals, the role of a musician may be difficult to comprehend. They may struggle to understand: 1 - the nature of a musician's talent or job, 2 - why musicians work around the clock, and 3 - the concept of a fanbase and the boundaries musicians set with fans. Let's delve into each… on your own, and this can be incredibly rewarding. Just like Jimi Hendrix, who was a self-taught guitar player, you can break conventional rules and inspire a whole generation of violinists to do the same. The violin is no different, and in my opinion, there is ample room for the violin to reinvent itself.

Learning Faster

Many new violin players are told to strictly follow the rules in order to succeed. While this is true to a certain extent, what if someone is deeply committed to becoming excellent but is constantly held back by a strict teacher? You are the one who can determine how quickly you want to learn, so teaching yourself gives you 100% control over your progress.

Saving Money

Let’s face it, violin lessons can be expensive! Not to mention the impact of the recession, where teachers may charge $50 or more per hour. Additionally, it’s not always convenient to find a teacher in your local area. It is much more cost-effective to utilize the internet as a resource for learning. In fact, the internet can provide you with video lessons, sheet music, jam tracks, and much more, all at a fraction of the cost.
