I am a bit of an oddball. I am starting to learn the violin. I am left -handed and I have an okay musical background. I play guitar and a bit of piano and ukelele. I hope to add violin to my skills as well. A pleasure to meet you all.

I am so glad to see your and Louise's replies. I just hate it when I get into a long line of people and there I stand, the last person in line and nobody gets in line behind me. Jeez... I feel like such a loser.

The search for great technique does not always lead to great music, but the search for great music does always lead to great technique.

Welcome to the forum @Noah !

Hey, "oddball" - nah no way - when it comes to picking up violin, even we righty's are all a bit "left-field"- we're all a tad crazy here ! It works !

Enjoy your violin journey, and your previous musical knowledge will certainly help.
