Absolutely. As long as you have the time dedicated to the art, anything is possible!

I've taught a 60 yr. old who caught on immediately, and moved on to amazing works a year or two later. It's not a skill that can be learned overnight, but as long as you have decent practicing, and lots of it - you too can be an accomplished violinist!

2 1/2, she was amazing. Her parents enrolled her in Ballet and violin.

This toddler was absolutely amazing at violin... of course they decided Ballet was her secret talent. I haven't kept tabs (i was 17 at the time) but I'm positive that child is going to change the world one day through her actions!

It depends on which one of my violins you're talking about!

I have a five string electric that I could turn into a badass electric conductor of a baseball bat, or my cheaper "student" violins that I wouldn't hesitate to put into your skull!

That being said, wood tends to break apart pretty quickly when set on fire .......

I also play cello, piano, viola, and slightly suck at guitar/bass!

Honestly, my parents wanted me to either be a musician or a dentist - I considered both to be my career path until senior year of HS when I decided violin would be much easier for me to do while still slacking haha

Absolutely.

It's been proven time and time again that learning an instrument has a drastic increase in mathematical ability, social skills, and spatial reasoning.
