Step Two

Buying a violin can get really expensive. I've seen violins cost up to (and maybe over) $800. I'm planning on renting one for about $25 a month. There is also this whole sizing thing where a full-size violin is a 4/4 violin and a half size violin is 2/4 ect. I'm getting a 4/4 which is about the size of a boston terrier (I know it's random, but it's the first thing that came to mind.) If you wanted to take a risk, you could buy a violin off eBay or craigslist, but sometimes they are not of the best condition. So also violins can come in all different colours like blue or pink and I'm thinking of getting a blue one because the prices aren't all that different.

Step One

If you want to play the violin and you haven't played it before, you should probably start out taking lessons. On average, violin lesson cost from $10 to $20, so I am taking my lessons at Meyer Music where it costs about $16 per lesson. There are lots of places you can go to take lessons, but where I go they have the classrooms in the store, so that's a good thing...
