Start Your Violin Journey with a Free Lesson

Some students and parents initially have hesitations about online music lessons, but they grow to love the experience. If you’re looking for flexible scheduling and affordability, online lessons could be a great choice. Our 1-on-1 online lessons are designed to be just as effective as in-person lessons because our violin teachers are professional. You have the convenience of learning the violin from your own home at your pace, all while enjoying a valuable human connection. When choosing a violin lesson, it’s important to check the instructor’s quality, the level of personalized guidance, and reasonable pricing.

Unlike other websites where a violin instructor teaches other instruments like piano or voice, our teachers focus on teaching the violin ONLY. We believe that students should get high-quality lessons led by instructors who have deep knowledge and hold official college degrees in violin from top music schools. Many lesson platforms provide violin teachers with certificates, but it’s important to understand the difference between certificates and college degrees. We strongly suggest choosing violin lessons from teachers with college degrees in violin.

At Lesson With You, we make it easy for students to take high-quality violin lessons from great instructors, all at an affordable price. Check out our pricing page for more information.

At Lesson With You, once you submit the signup form, our customer service team will match you with a violin teacher who is the perfect fit in terms of teaching style, personality, and schedule. If you have any specific preferences, you can include them as additional requests in the form we send you later.

Once your trial lesson is scheduled, we will also provide guidance on setting up the Zoom meeting. After the trial lesson, our client engagement team will follow up with you.

All you need is a violin, a computer, laptop, or iPad, and a high-speed internet connection with a minimum download speed of 25 Mbps and an upload speed of 3 Mbps.

The average price for a half hour violin lesson is $40, but Lesson With You charges only $35. According to our recent lesson cost guide, online lessons using video chats typically charge $37 for a half hour lesson. Local in-person lessons range from $30 to $50 for a half hour lesson.

At Lesson With You, we offer competitive, fixed rates of $35 for a half hour lesson, $50 for 45 minutes, and $65 per hour.

Yes! 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, so it’s 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 7 and up, and for those under 10, we recommend that a parent be present during lessons. For children who are too young to read music, our violin instructors provide instruction with fun activities like rhythm games, ear training, and improvisation. 

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. Feel free to ask your instructor for tips and discuss your goals often.

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!
