I've seen those stickers! I never had to use them as I used my boyfriend's violin which has a well-worn fingerboard. So I would place my fingers where his fingers had been before, haha. Getting used to the bow will take a couple of weeks with regular practice, especially learning to hold it properly at the frog. Also make sure you use the rosin so you'll be able to make a sound!
