When can a 20 year old violin beginner join a community orchestra?
-
I play the piano and at around the intermediate level. My dream is to play the violin at a community orchestra, but I am just a beginner now. However, It's easier for me I think than the other beginners because of my piano background. but I find playing the violin harder than playing the piano. My question is approximately how many years will I reach decent level to join a community orchestra? How many hours should I practice a day? P.S. What do you need to know to play in an orchestra? Thanks a lot!

Answer:
Well that depend on the orchestra you want to join. If you want to join a higher level orchestra then you obviously need to practice more then a lower level orchestra. Since you are a beginner and you want to join soon (I'm assuming), then I'd say you should practice at least an hour a day if you can. Many professional musicians spend all day practicing, but that's because it's their job. If you want to play music as a career, I say you should practice several hours a day. If you practice about an hour a day and have a good teacher, (having a good teacher is VERY important) I'd say you'd be ready in little over a year. When you are in an orchestra always bring a pencil! Any conductor will get mad at, sometimes even fire, you if you don't bring a pencil. Other then a pencil there are obvious things you should bring like your music, rosin, extra string in case if yours brake, and stuff like that.
