    So, I've been playing Violin for Seven years now. I want to quit.

     

    I hate practicing on my own. Even when I play a piece perfectly, I end up feeling no satisfaction at all.

     

    Every time I finish a piece in a concert, I'm glad that It ends. When the piece is excessively long, I'm like "Good Lord, just end already".

     

    I remember when I started private lessons in 5th grade. I was so Excited. I could play a Violin! I had a passion for the Violin back then. That passion has all but faded.

     

    Sometimes, I'll play a tune that I liked, such as Final Fantasy VII's main theme, on the Violin by ear. This is really the only thing that I enjoy about Violin anymore. Playing random things that I heard.  But even it gets old, and I would rather spend my time listening to the actual tracks online.

     

    When I go to college, I'm quitting. I only stick with my High School Orchestra right now because I've been told that "Commitment looks good on your application". Whether that is true or not, I would not know.

      I have never played Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I have heard them before.

       

      The closest I've ever gotten to emotional about the Violin was MGS4's love them. I swear, as I played the theme on the Violin, I could close my eyes and see the trucks heading towards the Middle Eastern War Zone. Maybe this Anime will change that. I'll give it a try.

      I hope it does! I admire musicians for all their dedication. I want to get myself dedicated enough to seriously practise on my guitar one day...

       

      Let me know if watching this helped you! :)

      As an amateur guitarist (I compose and arrange stuff, I'm second year in college), my advice for both of you is to just do what you feel like :D Everyone has times that they do not feel any passion at all. I too, had times that the only thing that can triggers my passion is playing random things that I found good while listening to a youtube playlist :D 

       

      However I really don't recommend "quitting". You can just leave it at that, no? Because there will be a time when you would want to pick up the fiddle once again, trust me :D

       

      I would suggest you both find a community of the subject in your area :D Having with friends with the same interest always feels better than being alone :(
