Any violin teachers , can you help please?

Hi, I think this might be a question for yorkiegirl, or there might be someone else who can help, dd is 10 yrs and would love to learn the fiddle, i think it would be better to start violin first, but is it possible to self teach ? we live on an island in the inner hebrides so it's not possible to go to weekly lessons. Any advice would be gratefully received,
thankyou.

Try the tune a day book, it's helping me with the violin, and I can play the trumpet competantly and I learned the trumpet with the books too. Make sure she does do the boring exercises, they are dull, but important. HTH
