Jing C. says, "I have known Lisa as a violin teacher for my children for many years. Lisa is a most appreciated person as a violin teacher in our family. My son studied with Lisa for many years and my daughter has been learning the violin with Lisa now for 8 years. During these 8 years there have been changes. My daughter started violin with Lisa in kindergarten when we lived in Omaha, Nebraska and now she has grown taller than me. Eight years ago my daughter started as a beginner and through Lisa’s knowledge and persistence, my daughter has won awards and is playing advanced level pieces, the most recent accomplishment being winning a spot in the Triangle Youth Philharmonic in North Carolina. Along the way it has been Lisa’s experience, nurturing and demanding that has guided my daughter’s success. Lisa treats her students in a caring manner and is able to help them with important things right before they perform, helping them with their sound, stage presence and confidence. Several of my friends have said that Lisa has helped their child and shows respect for the student and parent in the development of their child’s musical journey. One friend said with heartfelt gratitude “We found the right teacher when we found Lisa!” When my daughter is preparing for a competition or audition, the first thing we think to do is to ask Lisa and whenever my daughter wins an award or good news, the first thing she thinks of is to tell Lisa. We moved to North Carolina last October and my daughter has been taking online classes with Lisa ever since. They use Zoom and it works great. My daughter reached her goal and won her place in the orchestra with only the regular online lessons. As long as there is good stable online connection, the child takes lessons seriously and practices following the teacher’s instructions, the effect of Lisa’s online course is absolutely guaranteed!"

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?

Jing C.
To give a review to Lisa, I have the best say in this matter! Lisa is the most grateful person in our family. My son has studied violin with her for many years, and my daughter learns with her too. Until now she has studied with her for more than eight years. During these eight years, there were a lot of changes. My daughter began to learn violin in kindergarten, now she has grown taller than me. Before we lived in Omaha, and we went to OCoM learning in person, now we have moved to North Carolina and have changed to online learning. Eight years ago my daughter knew nothing about violin, now my daughter got a lot of rewards and is now playing professional level pieces in the Triangle Youth Philharmonic in North Carolina. Along the way, it is Lisa who is teaching, demanding, caring and guiding her. Lisa is an experienced, nurturing, and demanding teacher. Not only is she beautiful, she treats her students like they are her own children - sometimes she teaches my daughter how to make her more beautiful sound, onstage posture, etc. right before she performs. And highly skilled and well-informed.A couple of my friends told me that their child went to homeschool, so they learned a lot of music theory and performance from the Internet, and asked Lisa to teach on this basis. Lisa would do it in no time. And the previous teacher, had to teach the child according to his own teaching methods, the parents wore out their mouths, the teacher did not agree, and then the parents said with emotion: "We found the right teacher when we found Lisa!" Now, when my daughter is preparing for a competition or audition, the first thing she will think of is to ask Lisa; When she gets a rewards or good news, the first thing she thinks of is to tell Lisa. Lisa is the person she trusted the most! We moved to NC last October, and my daughter has been taking online classes with Lisa ever since. They use Zoom and it works great. You see, my daughter entered TYP this year. Therefore, as long as the network is stable and the child takes lessons seriously, practices following the teacher’s instructions, the effect of Lisa's online course is absolutely guaranteed! Lisa led the way in the musical development of our two children. She is the most grateful teacher in our family!
