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.

The violin is an interesting instrument. It seems like there's a very clear line that you cross at some point; one day you sound terrible, like you just picked up the instrument the day before, and the next day something clicks and you sound much more proficient. Basically, you need to get started, and keep at it. You'll cross that line eventually and you'll be glad you put all the work in that it took to get there.
