Q: What if my child doesn't click with their first violin tutor?

Q: My child plays fiddle music, not just classical. Can we find a specialist?

Of course. The great advantage of online tutoring is the access it gives you to specialists nationwide. You can find tutors who are experts in a wide variety of styles, from classical and jazz to folk and fiddle music. Just mention it in your search.

Paul K

Paul is a wonderful tutor match if, like me, you need someone who is not only passionate about playing music with feeling, but is also kind, compassionate and confidence building! I'm an adult student (in Ireland) who played violin until age 16 then let it go for over 40 years...until now! Although my playing is back to beginner level, Paul is giving me the encouragement and appropriate challenges to build my ability and confidence up. His positivity and lightness make this a joyful learning exploration rather than a hard or heavy lesson, and I am very grateful for his intuitive understanding of what is needed. Highly recommend!

Laura has been a true find. She is a wonderful teacher, technical and has really provided confidence to Hassan. Through Covid she has helped our son to complete both grade 3 and 4 violin with high marks and now our son wants to prepare for grade 5. I would not hesitate to recommend Laura and thank her for all the support she has provided Hassan over the past 2 and half years. Thankyou Laura

Marie C

It was a very lovely inspiring session. Son’s confidence and determination to playing the piece was reassured by Marie, as she she showed him he could deliver areas in the piece he had felt was too difficult. Marie wasn’t about the the time booked, but the comfort of knowing her student was comfortable and understood the lesson. This wasn’t a pressured teaching method, rather ensuring the students love for music continued. I was so pleased with the session, and hearing my son’s feedback, on how enjoyed the lesson so much, that I booked the next lesson immediately. I will highly recommend her as a tutor to any student.
