So I've been playing the piano for about 2 1/2 years now and, in my opinion, I think I'm pretty decent.
However, I recently received a new violin from my father a week ago which was around £350 I think. So I decided to self teach myself since I taught most of what I know on piano by using a book, and I had classes for a year.
I can't self teach myself violin at all...it seems too difficult. Which is why I just started taking private lessons. Anyways, is there any advice that the people of off topic would like to share in order to just...be good with the instrument...
Thank you for any suggestions.

Grab some Suzuki books. They’re not flashy or fun, but they’ll take you from beginner to competent pretty quickly. Once you feel comfortable with the instrument you can branch out to more interesting and enjoyable pieces. The first two books should put you out about £30. I play the cello, and after going through the two equivalents for my instrument I was fine to move on to real music.
