Many violinists seldom recommend a beginner to learn the instrument on his own. Their reasons are that the violin is a complicated instrument that requires much skill in perfecting. While this is true, the same applies to any other instrument and yet there are millions who do not benefit from rote learning.
Instead of trying to find out if one needs a personal instructor, first find out what your real intentions are behind learning the violin. Have you given it enough thought, and is the interest strong and serious? Passion is a vital ingredient in learning any musical instrument, especially for one that requires great technical ability as the violin does.
A lot of discipline is also essential in picking up the instrument. It is definitely required to become proficient in it. Without discipline, skill levels will drop and eventually, everything would become a waste of time from the beginning.
There are some things which having a personal violin coach might not help to develop. These are the ingredients that other self taught musicians have inculcated to produce their own success. All this have a lot to do with the amount of passion one has, how dedicated one is to his craft, and the level of discipline being applied in practicing this craft.
Everything must be applied and put together to achieve success when learning the violin on your own. Sacrifices will be required, but the rewards are sweet. And imagine how most of it, if not all, will be earned through your own hard work.
An immediate benefit that will arise from not having an instructor is the savings created. You do not need to pay music tuition fees to yourself. Instead, the savings can be invested in improving other areas, such as accessories and better self learning materials.
Trying to figure out the violin by yourself can also encourage experimentation and greater imagination. This is a facet of self taught violinists that is harder to find in those who have been trained in a structured environment. It is of great benefit for those who wish to pursue a professional career in the instrument.
There are some negatives that cannot be avoided using such methods. Firstly, it could take a longer time learning on your own. Secondly, music theory can be tough without prior musical background, which is a reality for most beginners. But there is a way out for any problem, and anyone trying to figure out the violin alone will be able to do so with dedicated application through discipline and passion. - 16003
