    I’m a viola player (violist) and one day I was hanging out with my other friend that’s also a violist. A woman saw us practicing are music one day and said “Hey, can you guys play cotton eyed Zoe?” Me and the other girl I was practicing with looked at each other. The lady showed us the music on her incredibly small IPhone. The girl sighed when she showed us I said “what?” The girl pointed at the right corner and it was *ViOlIn MusIc*

    CBC your never too old to learn the violin! I'm in my mid 20s and I'm eager about learning the violin! I already play clarinet and a little bit of piano! Your never to old to learn anything new! 😂😂
    Since I have experience sight reading, it wouldn't take me long to learn how to play violin anyways! Just different fingerings and techniques, same notes, higher pitch that's all! (And no I'm not being cocky about any of this. Just facts)

    The step one is so wrong, every musical instrument is difficult and they requiere hours and hours of practice, I play trombone( for 7 years) and this year I started learning violin on 17 years old, this instruments are so different, they have different difficulties with each other, the key to be a good musician is practicing and don't thinking what instrument is difficult, because all of them requiere practice
