ive been playing the violin since i was 9
and no its never to late to learn to play the violin
you should practice atleast 1 hour a day
read over music
and get begining string books to do scales and exercises
learn the
start with the basic scales
G D C ---> those are really easy ( those are just 3 out of the many scales there are)
&& learn the circle of fifths

if you wanted to play a quick song heres the notes to "happy birthday" for violins

It's not too late at all!
And 1 hour is probably fine, as long as you consistently play every day!. It sounds like you really want to become better, and I'm sure you will! Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
