How long have you been playing the violin?

For me I've been playing for about 8 years now, although at the beginning I went on and off the violin a few times.

How long have you guys and gals been playing?

I'm just a wannabe...

Here is my story:

When I was a teenage kid I started to play the guitar, but no formal training, though I learnt a bit of classical guitar music and reading music notation. Then I stopped. When doing hungarian folk dancing I fell in love with the sound of the violin. I tried it once long time ago, but I found it impossible (stupid fretless instrument with an awkward stick).

Then, suddenly in 2004 I bought a violin for myself as a Xmas present, and now I have 3 violins, 2 violas (one is a transylvanian contra), 3 guitars, one bodhran and one bongo. So, clearly I have enough tools to make noise, therefore I don't need mobile phones at all..

How long...

About 12 years? But comparing the length with the quality, I play very badly :-)

Music is not developping anymore. It's only recyclating older styles...

I started violin at age of 4.
Now I am 15.

And I already played, mendelssohn violin concerto, Bruch violin concerto, Tartini's "Devil trill's", Schubert fantasy. And now I learned Bach II partita.

I started when I was 5, and now I have been playing the violin for almost 11 years now. I hated it when I first started, but in the last year or two I have grown to highly injoy it. I now play in a collage orcastra at Vanderbilt and loving it. I'm now playing the Menderssohn violin concerto in E minor.

I started last year, in sptember, I think. Not sure, though...

I'm in love with it, for a while I didn't feel like studying very much, but now I do and it's quite rewarding.

I'm only just beggining with stuff like Bach's first and third minuet.

I've played for 11 years

But I don't play any classical music anymore, just rock and fusion on my electrical 5-string. Like Jean-Luc Ponty! ^^

Oh, I started playing the violin when I was 6. Initially I wanted to play the piano, due to sitting while playing xD But later my teacher told me what I have a good ear for music ;)

About 5 years. My parents aren't musical at all, and thus I wasn't fortunate enough to start when I was very young =(

Fear my existentialist rawr.
