I'm new here and new to the violin. I purchased a used student violin, tuned it, and started playing March 1st.
I gave a go at learning from YouTube and ViolinLab. I also picked up a couple of books: Essential Elements for Strings and Suzuki 1. I've decided I need to find myself a local instructor here in Columbus, Ohio. A little pedagogy and some personalized instructions just might go a long way, eh? That and a chin rest that fits!
I think I have Twinkle Twinkle down. Ode to Joy is coming along, and I'm learning The Force Theme and Reel Saint-Antoine for the fun of it. My dream is to someday play Caprice 24.

@tempogenix -
Welcome to the Fiddlerman Forum!
I think it's wonderful you've decided to start learning to play the violin -
especially during covid craziness.
Have you checked out all of the great Fiddlerman help/tutorials for beginners?
Wonderful members here - will help answer
any questions you have and maybe direct you to more information.
You have started on an exciting adventure!
I'm in Michigan, so we're neighbors!

About your chin rest... you might want to check out the Fiddlershop - they recently came out with a new one!
They have quite a few different shapes and heights, also for different positioning on your violin.
You can always give them a call & discuss it.

Glad to hear it, welcome to the forum tempogenix!!!

Good luck on both. Keep in mind that though it's called chin-rest, you should use your chin to hold the violin. Think of it more as a jaw-rest.

Feel free to share if you dare 😁
You may get helpful tips. Kind of like free lessons. 🍻
