Start Your Violin Journey with a Free Lesson

Yes—you really can. Some students and parents begin with doubts, but once they start, they quickly see how effective and enjoyable online violin lessons can be.

With flexible scheduling and affordable pricing, online lessons make it easy to learn without the hassle of travel. You still work one-on-one with a violin teacher who listens, demonstrates, and guides you step by step, just as in an in-person lesson.

The key to making online violin lessons successful is the quality of the teacher, the amount of personal guidance, and fair pricing. With the right instructor, online violin lessons are every bit as legitimate and valuable as learning face to face.

On a lot of lesson sites, one teacher might offer violin, piano, and even voice. At Lesson With You, our instructors focus only on the violin. That means you’ll learn from teachers with advanced training and degrees in violin who truly understand the instrument and how to help students grow.

At Lesson With You, getting started is easy and affordable. Lessons are online, so there’s no rushing to a studio or rearranging your schedule. You get the same personal attention you would in person, but with the comfort and convenience of learning at home.

In most cases, online violin lessons are cheaper than in-person lessons. This is because online lessons don’t have the extra costs of maintaining a physical studio. Plus, both teachers and students can save on travel expenses and time.

However, keep in mind that lesson prices can vary based on the location, so it’s always a good idea to check different options and find the one that offers the best value for the quality of violin teaching you’re looking for.

The frequency and duration of your violin practice depends on factors such as the age, ability, current skill level, and music goals.

Typically, it takes several years of consistent and effective practice to develop a solid foundation in strings. Repeating certain exercises during your practice is important for both short-term and long-term improvement. Try to build muscle memory by practicing phrases over and over.

If you’re just starting violin, practicing for around 15 minutes a day is a great way to begin. But if you want to get really good quickly and perform in competitions, you’ll need to practice more and gain more experience performing.

The perfect age for a child to begin violin lessons is between the ages of 7 and 9. It also depends on your child’s individual development, especially their motor skills and their interest in learning the violin. For instance, if your child is taking a half-hour lesson, they should be able to hold a violin and maintain focus while following instructions for at least 20 minutes.

At Lesson With You, we welcome students aged 6 and up for violin lessons.

To start, you’ll be introduced to the best setup for your video chat, the ideal positioning of your violin in relation to the webcam, and the sound adjustment.

Our violin lessons generally begin with warm-up exercises to review and assess your bowing, fingering, and intonation. You’ll then perform the piece you’ve been working on, receiving feedback and corrections from your teacher. Your instructor will also demonstrate proper violin techniques and offer suggestions to improve specific areas. Lastly, you’ll be provided with guidance and homework for practice, preparing for your next lesson.

It’s never too late to start learning the violin as an adult! Learning any instrument as an adult can be challenging but with patience, dedication, and a great violin teacher, you can make a solid progress just like the others. Every violin player learns at their own pace, and the most important thing is to enjoy the process of learning and practicing. Even if started later in life, playing the violin can be a fulfilling experience for many adult learners.

We also offer adult students the opportunity to perform at no cost during our spring and winter virtual concerts. One of Lesson With You’s goals is to foster successful violin education and elevate the musicianship of each student. Start your violin journey today at Lesson With You!
