Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

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

Yes, you will need a violin for your lessons. However, you don't necessarily need to buy one right away. Many music shops offer affordable rental programs, which are a great option for beginners to get started without a large upfront investment.

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is a chance to ensure you've found the perfect tutor. If for any reason you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. We're committed to helping you find the right match for your learning journey.

How much do online violin lessons cost?

The price of lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, but you can easily filter by price on our platform to find an expert teacher who fits your budget.

Are online violin lessons effective for beginners?

Absolutely. Online lessons are fantastic for beginners because they provide one-on-one, focused attention. Your tutor can immediately spot and correct issues with posture, bow hold, and technique that are crucial to get right from the start.

What equipment do I need for an online violin lesson?

You'll need your violin and bow, a reliable internet connection, and a device with a webcam and microphone (like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone). Some students also find a music stand and a dedicated tuner helpful.

How long does it take to learn to play the violin?

The timeline varies for everyone and depends on your practice consistency and goals. With regular lessons and practice, most beginners can play simple songs within a few months. The journey to mastery is a long and rewarding one!

Can adults learn to play the violin?

It's never too late to learn! Many of our students are adults starting their musical journey. Our tutors are experienced in teaching learners of all ages and will tailor their approach to suit your goals and learning pace.

How do I find the right violin tutor for me?

You can watch introductory videos, read student reviews, and message tutors directly to ask about their teaching style. Our search filters also help you narrow down choices based on availability, price, and expertise to find your perfect match.

How long is a typical violin lesson?

Most lessons are either 30, 45, or 60 minutes long. For beginners, a 30 or 45-minute lesson is often a great starting point, while more advanced students may prefer a full hour.

Do I need to be able to read music?

No, you don't need any prior experience. Your tutor can teach you how to read music as part of your lessons, starting with the very basics and building your skills over time.

What's the difference between a tutor and a YouTube video?

A tutor provides personalised, real-time feedback. A video can't see if your bow hold is incorrect or hear if your tone is scratchy. A tutor diagnoses your specific challenges and gives you targeted exercises to overcome them, accelerating your progress.
