Um, sorry to say this, but none of us can make you play the violin when you are not wanting to... if you do love it and certainly do not want to drop it, then you would probably be practicing?...

come on, dont stop practicing the violin.
im 40 years old and i practice at least 10 minutes a day, I have been studying for one year, and i have improved a lot. Sometimes, i dont have time to practice, so i play it for 5 minutes, i think that is better than nothing. besides, it is better to study daily (at least ten minutes) than once a week (for an hour , for example), so keep on practicing. !!!!!!

I have the same problem a lot of the time. What you should do is reflect on everything that you've done music-wise and go from there. I'm in NYYS (New York Youth Symphony), so I get very competitive with others, and want to be better. So I practice. Try something like that with yourself.
Another thing; if you're concertmaster or leader of the section (even Assistant principal), that means everyone sitting behind you is relying on you to be the best.

Are there any pieces that you like the most? If so, learn it, if not find one and learn it all the way through.

Hello, yes i also had that problem
i gave up in the end, (because of other things) and now i wish i hadnt
i am starting to pick it up again, teaching myself
i found a piece of music yesterday which i would love to try and laern but i cannot find any sheet music anywhere and i was wondering if any of you could help me in giving any links or something
the music is the Limelight Theme which was used in Charlie Chaplins movie.
i think it was originally by someone called Julio Iglesias, and the song was called Candilejas

Well, none of us here can make you feel motivated to play. The best I can say is to just make yourself goa nd practice at least 10 minutes a day until you begin to feel motivated.

my advice is practice your violin before some of your other work, or perhaps use your practice time as a break.

I used to be like that. I was good at violin, very good, but i just couldn't be bothered to pratise because i had so much going on. I never used to practice, so i struggled through my lessons. But then one day my mum forced me to practice (lol) and i realised how much i loved it, so i carryed on practicing and now look at me, passed my grade 3 with distinction and starting my grade 4! lol

Hello. I can so understand this. I am a working 36 year old ... I need to contend with piano which I have been playing since childhood and in respect of which I still visit a concert pianist teacher once a week. I also recently started violin lessons - half hour lessons a week!!! When it goes rough workwise and also when the violin sound just makes me cringe because of what I am doing, one tends to want to stay away from the instrument. Same goes with piano - even after a lifetime of playing!! What I tend to do is to discipline in time, even if 15 to 20 minutes. It helps. I would do it between other tasks ... clean the kitchen, wash your hands and play for 10 minutes ... feed the rabbits, wash your hands and play another 10 minutes ... and then use your weekends productively ... I tend to try to put away 2 hours on a Saturday and another 2 hours on a Sunday, during which I spend with my instruments. And slowly the violin playing progresses ... with lots of patience!

Well, I'm 22 years old and I work several hours a day. I also have a lot to do, but I always manage to have some time to practice, even if its only 10 minutes. I started almost a month ago. I try to practise scales during the week or small parts of songs - nothing too horrific  , and then practice some more on weekends, and that's what I do. That and the homework the teacher sends me hehe.
Pulling the G string and listening to some original soundtrack like Schindler's List or The Red Violin also helps me keeping focused on my goal. Which is improving and having fun. Playing the violin, in your case shouldn't be an obligation (unless you're in an orchestra or something like that, since you have more responsability), right?

Yes, I something get that boring feeling, unlike when I play piano. And, I'm still in school.
