Playing the violin or...?

From the lens Music instruments - the violin ♬.

When I was 8 I started to play the violin. My teacher was a German Lady, Rut Hoffner. She was really good towards me - and patient.

    Very nice lens. I started learning violin in Fall, 1963. I've played in ensembles, symphonies, an opera company and all sorts of productions. I've lensrolled this to my Fiddlesticks,Hilary Hahn, Irish Fiddle, Mark Wood, Sarah Chang, Suzuki Violin, Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, Violin Care, and Violin Rocks lenses. (You can't tell that I like the violin, can you?). My Joshua Bell lens is in the works and will be up in a few days, as will a lens about a Paganini Violin Concerto (about ten days) and Stradivari. I'll lensroll to them as soon as they are fit for public consumption!
    Thanks for your hard work.

    Loved your lens. Started to learn the violin while at school but could never quite get the hang of it. Went on to learn and play the trumpet for in my area's school orchestra.

    Unfortunately I do not play the violin, just a bit of piano and very badly at that.

    My pathetic efforts to learn the coronet as a kid rendered me unfit for anything but listening--at which I'm pretty good. Listening to a team of violinists lead an orchestra in a classical symphony is an experience everyone should have at least once. Or some of the jazz violinists, like the angular Leroy Jones, make the instrument speak in a whole new way.

    When Bob Dylan did the Rolling Thunder Review, back in the seventies, he had Scarlett Johanson (not that one) on electric violin, and you can hear how much this instrument can add, even to a rock band. Thanks for the lens!

    wow, I wish I could play violin, but teh thing that blows my mind is the 3 million dollars you can spend on such a lovely instrument.

    I've always WISHED I could play the violin, but I know it's difficult. So, I guess I'll have to settle for just enjoying the music of others.

    Hello ~ I'm a flute player, but as a music teacher, I took about a year of violin lessons. Violin is a very hard and beautiful instrument to play. I'm going to lensroll this to my String Family Lens. Thank you! Pamela
