The violin great if you would like to learn an instrument to play as a soloist in either classical or folk music, or in an orchestra or string quartet. It can be quite difficult to master in the early stages and requires a good technique and perseverance. Be prepared to put up with lots of squeaks in the early stages. However, those who do persevere benefit not only from developing their musical ability, but also their brain. Violinists have far more connections between the left and right sides of the brain than non-violinists. Violins come in different sizes, which means that children can start learning from a very young age. At Cherry Pie Music we teach all levels of violin from beginner to advanced.
