Is this correct, 'I work hard at violin all the time, so I'm sure I can make my dream come true'!
Is it OK to use 'work hard at' with 'violin'? Do I need 'the' before 'violin'?

Thank you!

Answer

"I practice the violin all the time, so I'm sure I can make my dream come true."

In your example you would want to use "the" but I wouldn't say "work hard at" this way. You could say "I work hard, practising the violin all the time."
