Learning from scratch

So the first thing that everyone asks me after they come to know that I am going to learn violin is this:

Why violin?

The short answer ?

That currently I play the tuba and normally we read the bass clef. Learning the violin would make me learn to read the treble clef and in so doing, I would be able to read both clef easily! Hopefully.

Another reason that I thought up which pretty much fits is that I do not want to ruin my embourche by learning a woodwind instrument. Besides, the violin is such a classy instrument don't you think?

As for the long answer, well, I don't really know it myself. It has to do with some events that happening in my life I suppose. Among them is taking the ABRSM Grade 5 exam which I think precipitated in my first lesson.

And the rest they say is history.
