My parents were the sort that "made" me play the piano when I was younger, it was only after a couple years of that they let me take violin lessons. It was tricky at first but I caught on pretty fast. I always played entirely by ear, I can't really read music, which frustrated my instructor. Guess I'm a mimic, I can play just about anything I hear, with limited accuracy because, like I said, I never practice. But that helped me to hear when I was slightly off with the fingering, so correction was easy and after a while you can just do it no problem.
