Getting back into Music

I've been through very similar situations. What's worked for me is warming up to it when you're bored. If you don't feel like picking it up, just bring it closer to you. Put it on your bed or somewhere that you have to touch it in order to do other things. Once it's in you consciousness, pick it up and start playing anything that comes to you. If it works, soon you'll be back to your music books and buying new ones, playing all the time.

Frankly, the other thing that worked for me after 8 years of violin was switching to guitar. I've found it easier to feel like I'm making progress on guitar and also far more versatile, although it is a monetary investment.

I guess its all about motivation. Listen to your favorit artists and then define some easy to reach goals ;-) this should bring you back in the game...

Start back up. If classes are to expensive, maybe you can take a class at a community college?

u can go to some violin classes and improve ur violin playing quality.....

Hi there!

Good for you for wanting to take the plunge back in to music! Your idea inspires me, because I too want to get back in to music, but for me it's singing.

I might suggest finding someone who teaches lessons in your area -- simply to help you brush up on your skills. It's tough when you have a hobby or a passion that takes a lot of time. I can commpletely relate!

Maybe you can carve out a set amount of hours each week to practice. Don't get discouraged! You can do it!

Best of luck!

Kim :-)

My idea to get back into music is to continue where you left off and maybe listen to a couple artist who inpired you in the first place then I guarentee that you will get back into the swing of thing.
