Anna S. says, "I am so appreciative that Alex made me comfortable to start up lessons as an adult student. Taking a 20-year hiatus from piano made the lessons feel so intimidating. But Alex really met me where I was, balancing my comfort level while pushing me a little further. This style of teaching and learning has been a vast improvement to actually understanding the language of the sheet music rather than slowly reading it, note by note. I never thought I’d be in my 30s participating in recitals with some very talented children, but here we are! I am a year in to my lessons with Alex and plan to remain a student as long as he’ll have me!" Read more

Your Violin Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do violin lessons cost near me?

Violin lessons cost $30 to $80 per session for classes starting at 30 minutes long or up to 60 minutes long. A private violin teacher costs $50 to $80 for an hour. A group lesson costs $20 to $30 each time.

You can expect to pay $190 to $360 every month when pre-booking violin lessons.

Are violin lessons worth it?

Violin lessons are worth it if you aspire to enhance your skills rapidly and perform for audiences. Expert tutelage in the violin can aid in cultivating appropriate techniques and tackling challenges efficiently, thus accelerating progress.

Learning violin without private feedback is extremely difficult and takes much longer.

How many violin lessons do I need?

You need as many violin lessons as it takes to reach your personal goals, depending on how good you are now, how much you practice, and how qualified your teacher is. Most folks need to take violin classes regularly for many months before they can play a basic song or read music.

Generally, it takes about 3 to 6 years to start playing many different songs quite well. If you want to play like a professional, it often takes more than 10 years of ongoing practice and tutoring.

How long are violin lessons?

Violin lessons are 30 minutes long for beginners and up to 60 minutes long on average. Extended lessons are only for advanced students, will cost extra, and are subject to the teacher's availability.

What age is best to start violin lessons?

The best age to start violin lessons is between 4 to 7 years old at the earliest, or whenever you have a strong enough focus on learning and can hold the instrument comfortably. Children need to exhibit sufficient physical coordination and concentration before they can start violin lessons.

However, adults are capable of learning and deriving pleasure from playing the violin, irrespective of their age.

How do I find a violin teacher near me?

You can find a violin teacher nearby very quickly by browsing the listings here on the Lessons website. Alternatively, you can ask for affiliated private teachers at local music stores.

  • Before hiring a violin teacher in your area, always remember to:
  • Compare the prices of at least 3 violin instructors.
  • Read what others have said about the teachers on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask them which of their past students you can talk to for a reference.
  • Get a written agreement and a lesson plan before the first lesson.
  • Follow a plan to pay a little at a time until you feel sure the teacher is right for you.

What questions do I ask a violin teacher before hiring?

Here are some questions to help you find the best violin teacher:

  • How many years have you been teaching the violin?
  • What age group of students do you prefer teaching?
  • How many degrees in music do you have, and do you play professionally?
  • Can I try out a lesson for free or with a discount to see if it works for me?
  • Do you have violin rentals at your school if I don't have one at home?
  • How much do I need to practice to reach my goals?
  • What books or sheet music should I buy?
  • Can you change how you teach to help students with special needs?
  • What kind of violin music are you best at teaching?
  • Should I expect homework to memorize?
  • What should I bring, and how long does each class last?
  • Can I get a copy of our class schedule, agreement, and how to pay?
  • What happens if I need to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I pick some of my favorite songs to learn?

Maureen M.
My 7-year-old son has been studying with Alex for over two years. During last winter's recital, I was so inspired not only by my son's performance, but also by the other students present (several of whom were adult learners), that I decided to seek lessons for myself. Based upon the experience with my son, I didn't think I could love AMI more than I did, but now I know I was wrong. I love learning myself. It's incredible that AMI is able to teach each of us where we are, according to our different levels of understanding and skill sets. It's like we have lessons personally tailored to each of us. And we both are convinced we're the most amazing pianists ever (LOL). AMI not only has the ability to instruct varied skills sets, but also different ages and personalities. There is no one-size-fits-all approach here. The other thing I absolutely adore is the fact that my son played an original piece, with accompanying musicians (a violin and cello instructor) during his 2nd recital! And trust me, it's not because my son is that amazing. It's because AMI is that forward thinking and supportive of the learning process. As an educator myself, I truly can't say enough about this incredible Institute and I'm so, so grateful I got in "on the ground floor" before there wasn't room for me on their roster. Every instructor I have met, every aspect of this entire organization is nothing but top notch- and personable, friendly, skilled and awesome (and no, I was not paid to write any of these things!).
