Carlton H. says, "I just had the first lesson Due to the holidays. I was out of town. Al listens to what you want to achieve through your lessons and has a straightforward, sensible approach to teaching. He breaks it down very clearly for the types of music I am interested in learning on the Mandolin. For me it would be a good foundation in standard bluegrass and Irish tunes with learning how to improvise over a melody when sitting in with a jam session (should I put in the work to get that good). Al says he can get me there and I believe him. He is a professional musician and instructor with decades of experience and knowledge of the local music scene as well, which I can take advantage of since we live in the same community. Our first session was remote because I was sick after the holidays and he does very well using the technology effectively. " Read more

Traditional violin lessons in the Galamian heritage. I focus on balanced violin playing, foundations in technique and good interpretation. I also focus on proper posture to decrease strain. The technique and interpretation taught can be used in any style of playing, but I focus on classical. I have 10 years of violin experience and have performed in the Osceola County School for the Arts Chamber and Symphony Orchestras and with the "Black Violin" pop group at the Dr. Philips Center.

Hi! My name is Carlyn Byrd and I have been playing the cello for fourteen years. I graduated from Tarpon Springs High School in 2017 and received my associates in arts degree from St. Petersburg College in spring of 2020. In December 2023, I received my bachelors degree in music performance at the University of Central Florida. I really value and respect the relationship between the teacher and the student. If it doesn't work out, thats totally okay. Learning is personal. I have honestly had teachers that were great players but it just didn't work out with learning styles or personality conflicts. I value the students goals and what they want...

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?

  • What happens if I need to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I pick some of my favorite songs to learn?

I live in South Carolina and have been Al's student since last March. I can't begin to say enough about how much Al has helped me progress in my playing. As said before, not only does he teach you how to play but he gives you an understanding of how the music works. When I first talked to Al about taking lessons, I told him that my goal was to be a recreational player and maybe play some in church once in a while. Now I am in a band and we just finished playing a show this morning at a local church. It is amazing how far you can take this instrument with the right instruction and help. I could have spent the next 5 years trying to learn to play on my own and would probably still be playing Cripple Creek and Cumberland Gap. Now I have a song list so long I can't begin to list them all. If you are looking for lessons that are challenging but well worth the work, you can't go wrong with Al.
