Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

We want you to love your learning experience. If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to helping you find the perfect match.

Do I need to own a violin before my first lesson?

Yes, having a violin is essential for your lessons and for daily practice. Many local music shops offer affordable rental schemes for beginners, which can be a great way to start without a large upfront investment. Your tutor can offer advice on the right size and type of violin for you.

How much do online Violin Grade 1-3 tutors cost?

The price of a violin tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. On Tutorful, you can browse profiles to see each tutor's individual rates. Prices typically start from £25 per hour, allowing you to find an expert who fits your budget.

How do online violin lessons work?

Our online lessons take place in a purpose-built virtual classroom with video chat, a shared whiteboard, and document sharing. You just need a stable internet connection, a webcam, and your violin. It allows your tutor to see your posture and technique clearly, providing real-time feedback just like in person.

Are online lessons effective for improving violin intonation?

Absolutely. A good quality webcam and microphone allow your tutor to hear the nuances of your playing. They can provide immediate, specific feedback on finger placement and help you train your ear, which are the keys to mastering intonation.

Can a tutor help if I feel I have no 'natural talent'?

Yes. Musical skill is built through practice and expert guidance, not just innate talent. Many students feel this way when they hit a plateau. A tutor can break down complex techniques into manageable steps and provide the encouragement and targeted exercises you need to progress, proving that dedication is the true key to success.

What will I learn with a Grade 1-3 tutor?

You'll cover the core fundamentals: proper posture, bow hold, and left-hand technique. Lessons will focus on improving intonation (playing in tune), producing a clear tone, learning to read music, and mastering the scales, pieces, and aural tests required for your specific exam board (like ABRSM or Trinity).

How long does it take to prepare for a Grade 1 violin exam?

This varies for every student, but with consistent practice and weekly lessons, many beginners can be ready for their Grade 1 exam within 9-18 months. Your tutor will help you progress at a pace that is comfortable and effective for you.

How do I find the right violin tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialize in the Grade 1-3 level. Watch their intro videos, read reviews from other students, and send them a message to discuss your goals before booking. This helps ensure you find a teacher whose style matches your learning needs.

Can I learn violin as an adult beginner?

Of course! It's never too late to learn a new skill. Many of our tutors specialize in teaching adult learners, offering a patient and encouraging environment. They understand the unique challenges and goals of adult students.

What other equipment do I need besides a violin?

For your lessons, you'll need your violin and bow, rosin, a shoulder rest for comfort, and a device with a webcam and microphone. A music stand and a digital tuner are also highly recommended for effective practice between lessons.
