Need advice on Violin
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 big thing is going to be developing your ear, and learning to play in tune. A piano (like guitar, and most horns) is a fixed-pitch instrument. As long as the instrument is properly tuned, you'll play in proper pitch. Instruments from the violin family and the trombone are not. So while this will (eventually) allow you the added expressiveness of playing "microtonally"...you're going to have to put in the work with both your fingers and your ears to recoginize when you're playing in tune...and when you aren't. Which is why living with someone who is learning to play one of those instruments can be a truly trying experience. Be kind and throughtful to whomever you share living space with. Listening to you practice when you're first starting out is going to be stressful for them.
