Hello everyone,

I just wanna get some comments on my situation, first off my violin, i have to tune it every day, the strings losen up all the time and its frustrating.. would a new set of strings solve the issue ?

second is, I'm level 3 and I can't afford a private teacher anymore and I don't think i can afford lessons for the next couple of months, I stopped 4 months ago, and now I'm getting a kick in my head to keep on .. how would I go about improving myself without a teacher, any books you recommend?

thanks in advanced.

about the strings, they will take time to stretch if they are new, so they will be annoying for a while, but if you are tuning every day your violin should stay about in tune, unless there are huge fluctuations in temperature and humidity around your violin, which isn't good for it. I'm not sure why your violin strings keep going out of tune, it could be your pegs? if not a new set of strings may fix the problem or it might just continue.
