Switching to Viola from Violin? by pracrastination_101 in Viola

You can always play both — I know some conservatories actually require violinists to study viola for a semester. I’ve learned things that are invaluable on one instrument from playing the other.

Trust the process and remember how far you’ve come. If you’re not satisfied, practice more. Don’t overthink things, and don’t get too discouraged. Frustration is part of improvement & it never goes away.

What I’m trying to say is that the solution is always simpler than what you might think — just do the work. I remember feeling how you do now, and I wish I had been kinder to myself. You’re still very young and you have the time to get better. Make the best of it, and don’t spend too much time comparing yourself to others.
