So I had my first Violin lesson today~ gotta say I was pretty excited to make any noise what so ever. We ended up arriving late so I only got 20 or so minutes with the woman that was teaching me :/.

Still I learned the correct posture and stuff and I'm getting off to a good start, n' so far making a sound that doesn't scratch isn't too difficult. Even if all we did was pluck at strings T^T. She said I was easy to teach though so that was really a confidence boost.

I’ve always -wanted- to play violin, kind of one of those things where you hold yourself back for lack of experience or, 'oh well I didn't play violin growing up'. I just know I’ve always admired violin and wanted to play it so badly, but figured because I couldn't play at my age there was no point.
I mean I’ve pretty much accepted I'll never be in a professional orchestra or make a career out of it >D... But I figure I have the rest of my life to learn it, so hey, what the heck I'll play violin.

And I have to say this to anyone. You can always learn new things, don't hold yourself back or let people tell you that you can't accomplish anything. Had an instrument you've -always- wanted to play? Pshaw I say go for it. It’ll be one of the best choices you make.

It's really helped my mood and my creativity and I haven’t even gotten that far into it. Really excited to go back next week. :3
