It's never to late to learn something new. I also feel that playing music helps me focus, and it could be helpful for you to focus on something other than school for a while. Music is a great way to express how you're feeling, and I definately think you should try it. If you're not sure it's something you want to do, why don't you rent the instrument that way if it's not for you, you don't have to worry about spending lots of money.

I was 16 when I first learned to play the guitar and the first four years were among the most dedicated for the instrument. I've been playing for 51 years and don't regret one iota at starting at the age of 16. You can do it too. You’re at the best age in your life to learn to play a music instrument.

I started teaching myself to play old-time fiddle when I was 33 (after having previously learned acoustic guitar, mandolin, and banjo). That was 16 years ago, I still play fiddle and have played in bands and for dances, and I love it. :-) My suggestion would be to learn to play a folk fiddle style (bluegrass, old-time, Irish, Cajun, country) rather than classical, as I think it would be more fun, but that's my own musical tastes talking........... :-) Heck no!

Here is what you should do: go online and look for websites that can start teaching you how to read music now. Here is a good site to start with: http://datadragon.com/education/reading/ Then, go to some of your local music shoppes and look for a used violin that can get you started. While you're there, ask around for a private teacher. Don't get a book or try to teach yourself...instruments are too complex to learn from a book. A lot of times music majors at colleges are willing to teach lessons at a cheap rate. With a little bit of commitment and some practice time you will acquire a talent that you will have for the rest of your life!
