It takes a long time, even if you're musically gifted. String instruments truly require the most patience and dedication. Tedious at first, but rewarding in the end, that's how I see it. Practice is definitely necessary for the violin; it's considered the most difficult instrument to play in North America. I'm no sort of expert (I've been playing since third grade and now I'm in 11th) and even with the great instruction I've had from school (and occasionally private) teachers, it's TOUGH. Still, the violin is a timeless instrument with a rich, gorgeous sound and soo much musical flexibility. That's what sets it apart. Even though I'm not a fan of practicing, I'm proud to play such a wonderful instrument. My instructor is an incredible player with over thirty years of experience, and he is constantly and continuously trying to improve his playing- there's always room for improvement. So although "mastering" the violin may be a lifelong process, you should definitely try it. Good luck.

It just depends on how fast of a learner u r. I am a violinist myself and to master some of the really hard stuff it took me about 5 years. But don't b discouraged. It really is true that practice makes perfect. I don't think that u ever "master" the violin. I am 27 years old and have been playing for 18 years, and I still don't think I have mastered it, as I'm always learning new techniques to enhance the experience.

fifteen years. six hours a day. that is, too, if you have a private instructor. this also depends on what you mean by "mastering" the art of the violin. Mastering the violin means perfecting every technique, and through such technique mastering highly technical pieces. There are those who are "good" at the violin, but very few have "mastered" the violin.

It all depends on the person, if you are a natural musician i would say that it would take about two years, but if you have a harder time then keep at it and your hard work will pay off. Also dont be afraid to talk to people at music stores and stuff, they wont hesitate to give you tips or other bits of helpful information.
The # 1 thing about any instrument is to practice practice practice and never give up.

It depends
If you practice two hours a day with no passion and effort, then it gets you nowhere.
To master the violin or any instrument, it takes training from professionals and dedication.
It takes years if you dedicate yourself in dedicated practice everyday.

Does everyone fairly draw close an device? isn't there continually more beneficial to study? As for me, although, i began playing the violin in 4th grade, and am on my 11th year to date. I nevertheless have some kinks to exercising consultation in my playing technique, so this is in assessment to i'm ideal. yet then, is everyone ever ideal? i wager it fairly relies upon on your getting to draw close curve, and how nicely the instructor is able to artwork with you. Mastery is an ongoing procedure, with many united statesand downs, so do not anticipate on the spot perfection, no remember how nicely (or otherwise) it starts out. and do not anticipate a tender adventure, both!

In no time at all...twinkle, twinkle little star is easy...can be fun to take a class also join in with friends or family...I recommend Suzuki's beginning violin book series #1-10, at least 1 and 2 will get you well on your way, plus the first few accompanying CD's to play along with...also have a firm grasp on music reading fundamentals first so you can read those notes and rhythms--good luck.

I am sure that most great violinists would say that they are still learning. It is not the time that you put into learning your instrument that counts, it is the quality of that time that you get out of it that matters most. Make it a part of your day and you won't even notice the time.

it would take about 100 years. you can never MASTER an instrument. you can only be really good at it. now, if you want to get as close to perfect as YOU can be, likke that, it would take you about 15 years
