3 years has now passed since I took up the violin and it has honestly been one of the best things I have ever done. Learning the violin has changed my life and I’ve met the most incredible people along the way who I now call my close friends.
I started off my journey using Instagram as a practise diary and as the years went on I was able to visually see my progress. I regularly still post my practise videos on IG, you can follow me @peterquanmusic
In my violin journey I didn’t focus on being the quickest player as I was more interested in gaining a richer tone. From editing this video I was proud to hear my sound opening up each month that passed and how I was able to make my violin sing.
I love learning the violin as it is one of the biggest joys in my life. I hope this video inspires you and I look forward to the many more years to come!

Thank you very much for your kind words! Honestly age is but a number. I'm a part of an adults beginner orchestra and the majority of the members are as of the same age as you learning from scratch. They have all progressed wonderfully through their dedication and I just find that the most magical thing. All the very best with your journey ahead of you!

Hi there, I got a lot of inspiration from KZfaqrs and from listening to a load of violin concertos on Spotify. I found online tutorials okay during my self-taught stage, but once I found an in person teacher I didn't use many online sources. Oh amazing, I'm always inspired by people who return to their music instruments. All the best!

Well done you for taking on an incredible journey! 🎻 My teacher thankfully taught me early which I'm very grateful for. It's hard for me to give much advice in this comment but one thing that really helped me was developing my finger knuckle flexibility. It also really helped me to lean my violin scroll between a wall (make sure to use a cloth to protect your violin), this really helps to take the weight off.
