If its the bones, it might be something of a more serious nature that perhaps should be discussed with a healthcare professional. If it is just a muscle then more likely its muscle growth from holding your arm up and out. I sometimes forget of some of the aches and pains I went through starting with the instrument... imagine being a fourth grader carrying your instrument case home every day...my arms were numb- but grew strength! I also strengthened my back by learning to sit up rather than slouching in my chair, which also was a lot of annoying muscle growth pains in the process. I hope that helps!

I've only just started learning the violin... as a grandma. Is it normal for my left elbow to ache when I'm playing or am I angling it too much? Hi,
