Last week I began my journey by renting a violin from UVIC. It was free of cost since we are in a music class. Luckily my parents saved all my old violin books, including the very basics like learning note names. My dad is a very musical person, and helped me tune my violin, as well as putting marks on the neck to make finger placement easier. It is nice that even though I don’t remember everything about violin, I do remember certain things like how to set it up and hold the bow. The book I am using to learn is amazing! It has finger placement instructions, as well at note and cord visuals. I am following the book page by page, right now I am on page 24 and can play my D and A cord scale, as well as a few simple songs!
