Ed W. says, "I would gladly recommend teacher Jay. My son needed to learn to play viola fast because there were too many violinists in his school orchestra. I played violin as a child, so I am somewhat familiar with violas. But I wasn't sure about teaching my son the right way. Alto clef and all! We had a great experience. Jay is marvelously calm and patient. I don't know how he does it. My son enjoyed his lessons for sure. Although I suspect he may have fancied all the swords on the wall more than what's on the music stand. We moved back to east coast. So we are no longer seeing teacher Jay. My son continues to play music, which makes me very happy and proud." Read more

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.
