Sooo i wanna learn how to play the violin but i have no real training in music. Can't even read sheet music. Googled local schools(?) or institutions i guess, looked at the rates and said #@&$ that. So i was wondering if there was some music club on campus where i could learn.

Violin is a very difficult instrument to start out with. Much more so than piano and guitar. There are no frets like in a guitar, so you need a tonne of help with tuning. I wouldn't look into a club, that will never work. Your best bet is a teacher, but a shitty beginning teacher will fuck you over for later on. Bad hand position/bad tuning --> you'll never sound good, until you break those habits. Try finding a music major who has experience teaching beginners.

McMusic Together is exactly what you're looking for! They have teachers for a wide variety of instruments that teach for free. The deadline for their lesson registration was last week but I'm sure they'd consider you if you email them at [email protected] l.com. They're a friendly bunch!

Keep in mind that you need your instrument (except if you're learning piano). Maybe you can borrow a violin from the music department (unlikely unless you're in an orchestra, but might as well give it a shot) or check out the music rental places around Hamilton.

Violin and string instruments are definitely more difficult initially than piano and winds because of intonation, bow control, and left-hand articulation.
