Thread Name: absolute beginner violin
Subject: RE: absolute beginner violin
Good morning ;)Thanks to all for your valuable input,i now have a much clearer idea of what i am aiming to look for :o)
*Susan you certainly know your 'stuff'~ just the kind of advice i needed to know..
*Michelle that sounds like an idea,renting a violin for a bit,at least to get the 'feel'and find my way about *chin cello* sounds real sweet..
*Zhenya~ As i am a complete beginner, i would be looking for a good comprehensive book,starting from the 'very' basics,there are so many books out there and i am a bit bamboozled as to the best one to buy~
My main interest would be Cajun/Bluegrass --country/folk..Having played guitar since i was 12,not on the 'circuit' or anything like that,simply for pleasure,and house get togethers,i taught myself and don't really read music'..more an instinctual 'feel..:o)..Having been recovering from a head trauma 5yrs ago, i'm finding playing guitar a bit 'heavy'as i have slight on/off paralysis....so would be looking to start nice 'n' slown, down and easy.
A few lessons to start with sounds like an idea! ;)Please feel free to
pm me if you wish ~

*Will Fly~ How lucky was that!! sounds like a sweet wee instrument!
hope you enjoy :o)
