disadvantages of playing the violin: :smile51:
1. terrible calluses!!! which is awful for a lady...
2. classmates will torment you with their sarcasm
3. your hearing changes - after 4 years, you start to hear noticeably worse!!! and when you then have to go to an orchestra, which is in every music school, you can safely buy a hearing aid.
4. children like to break their arms - if you break your arm or finger badly, you can quickly forget about the violin.
5. you need to change the violin every two years (1/4, 1/3, half, and full size), so stock up on cash! + don't forget about new pegs, bows, which, if you play with them, often break (repair costs 500 rubles), etc.
6. constant rehearsals at home, if you don't have enough patience, it's better not to start at all!!!
7. unhappy neighbors (for the first 3 years :D) and school homework until 12 at night (and this is in the younger grades)... my neighbor still calls me "saw" ...
8. deformation of the left hand and neck (clamping the violin gives you chronic osteochondrosis - you need to do constant exercises!!!)
advantages of playing the violin: :smile36:
1. discipline and responsibility...
2. it's easy to learn to play the guitar later (in 2 years)
3. happy parents with delighted faces
4. I broke my arms three times, and only the desire to recover in order to play helped me to fully rehabilitate them (in 1 month)
exercises on the piano, if you broke your fingers, are more interesting than tapping on the table and much more effective!
5. performing on stage is great, whether it's a solo or an orchestra!!!:cool:
Despite the disadvantages, it's very interesting, but it's better to learn to play the guitar!!! you can't sit around a campfire with friends playing the violin or piano!!! :) :) :)
