Can I learn violin without having to hurt my piano fingers?

learn to
Domz asked:


I’ve been playing piano since high school and played classical pieces. I’m wondering if my fingers get injured or dexterity loss on piano if I learn to play violin. I expect an advice from a classical pianist. You know, I wont risk my dexterity. If playing violin affects dexterity, then I wouldn’t mind learning it.
Please give me some advise as I’m planning to get a violin next week.
Thanks.

    It most definitely won’t hurt your piano fingers. It could even help improve dexterity! If you practice a lot, you might get tiny calluses on your fingers, but they are not as significant as a guitar players or cellists calluses.
    I have friends who are pursuing piano professionally and who play both violin and piano at very high levels. Good luck, the violin is hard but really rewarding!

    For eating washing yourself or gesturing either because youve taught them some new movements.

    No, you won’t lose your dexterity. If anything, it will improve your piano technique — especially your left hand finger technique! That’s what it did for me!

    not at all!

    I started playing piano a little before playing the violin, and I had trouble doing scales with my left hand, it was so weak. Of course, that was when I was in fourth grade. But after I started violin, my finger strength and speed has both increased in my left hand, and both my right hand and my left hand became more flexible (right hand because of bowing, left hand because of pressing, shifting, vibrato, etc). It has certainly improved my playing alot. You can find examples of me playing on Youtube, it’s improved alot! I’ve only been playing for 2 years and I wouldn’t be at half my level without violin!

    if it doesn’t work, just search raymondbl on youtube.
