Karen W. says, "Julie Paradise is a wonderful violin teacher! She takes the time to explain how to properly hold the violin, place your fingers on the strings, etc. She plays each new song on her violin so my 9 YO daughter can hear what it sounds like. She also takes the time to walk through each song, pointing out different bowing and fingering positions. I love that she plays the violin with my daughter because it really helps her hear when she may not be playing exactly the correct rhythm or note. Julie also takes note of personal things she hears my daughter talking about. For example, she mentioned that her grandmother’s birthday was coming up, so Julie took the time to find the music for “Happy Birthday”, printed it out for her & taught her how to play it. It’s now one of her favorites & she likes to play it for friends & family on their birthday. Julie is a well-versed musician and even plays in three different orchestras! She has been teaching violin for 34 years and is trained in the Suzuki method through book 4, and will be completing more training this summer. She is very professional, an excellent teacher and also makes lessons fun. I wholeheartedly recommend her!" Read more

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.

  • 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?

We love working with Julie! She's a fantastic, intuitive teacher who responds to students' needs and meets them where they are. She keeps lessons and learning violin fun and interesting for my stepdaughter. Julie also takes the time to send additional learning and listening resources for students to access beyond lesson time. She is very flexible with scheduling, which is a must when accommodating blended families. We're very lucky to have her as our child's teacher!
