Hi Diane - I know many people who started playing a musical instrument as an adult. Welcome!!

I am concerned that you are experiencing so much physical pain. While playing an instrument is somewhat "unnatural", you don't want to develop any bad habits that will keep you from enjoying it. I strongly suggest you find a teacher soon - even a high school student with a few years experience can help you with the basics, making sure you are holding the instrument correctly, etc. There are many things that are tough to learn from a book or video, and some beginner instruction can be very valuable.


Again, welcome and enjoy playing!

Dori
