Major and minor are general music terms and are not specific to the violin. They are the two most common scales in western music. Major scales have a half-step (2 adjacent keys on a piano, like b natural to c natural, or g natural to a flat) between the third and fourth degrees (notes) and another half-step between the seventh and eighth degrees. There are three kinds of minor scale called natural, melodic and harmonic. They have different structures, but all minor scales have in common a half-step between the second and third degrees.
A minor scale is the same as its major scale with the third and the seventh notes "flatted" or lowered half a step. For example, the key of C has the notes C D E F G A B C in C minor the E is changed to E-flat and the B is B-flat
Major and Minor keys are different keys.
Major keys often have a relative minor which mean that they share the same key signature.
Majors tend to have the happier sound, where as minors are sad and gloomy.

If you major in music, there would be no reason to minor in music. It just makes no sense.
A relative minor key is the minor key with the same key signature as a particular major key, for example D minor and F major both have one flat (Bb).
