start to learn violin

I started to learn playing violin from today.
Personal lesson by LA phil harmony orchestra violinist will be taken for 2 or 3 times in a week. Amazing point is it's all free except membership charge $80 per month.
It's a kind of conditoinal contract. When I play well enough after practicing 1 year, I have to join the Orchestra, participate in practice once a week and give a performance in the concerts that LA Phil-harmony Orchestra give regularily. Simply put, I become a conditional trainee. well.. Nothing to lose for me.
It's just first lesson but my teacher patted me on the back that I am a potential.
Happy about having my own instructor. I know how it is difficult to learn instrument without instructor since I've been on it with piano.



The violin is a bowed string instrument with four strings tuned in perfect fifths. It is the smallest and highest-pitched member of the violin family of string instruments, which also includes the viola and cello.
A violin is sometimes informally called a fiddle, no matter what kind of music is played on it. The word "violin" comes to us through the Romance languages from the Middle Latin word vitula, meaning "stringed instrument";[1] this word may also be the source of the Germanic "fiddle".
A person who plays the violin is called a violinist or fiddler, and a person who makes or repairs them is called a luthier, or simply a violin maker. (from Wikipedia)
