Just like voice, I was thinking of quitting and learning violin on my own rather than a 30 minute session every Saturday morning and with early bussing over 6 hours total. I want to work at a daycare and just learn violin from the books and when I can to play in a local amateur group and maybe accompany musicals. It would be a dream to play classical professionally but not necessarily a soloist. I wish I could be a 1st violinist cuz I loved singing in groups, choirs, and feel like I should be given some honors because I did it so much when young.
