J. P. says, "Rachel is an awesome teacher!!! She has taught 2 of my boys over the last few years: one guitar (age 11), one violin (age 15). Rachel has a lovely personality and has always been very encouraging of their progress. My boys find her enjoyable, yet she pushes them to put forward their best effort. She is also very understanding of their different personalities. I was nervous about trying a teacher via Skype, but lessons with Rachel have far exceeded my expectations. " Read more

Amber D. says, "Elizabeth has been a teacher to me for many years, not in music but in the training of my mind and emotional healing. She is intuitive in her knowledge and naturally guides and instructs those she meets and teaches. Her gift in music is thrilling, moving, unpredictable, yet graceful. She excels in especially her impromptu and personally composed music. I truly feel I am in the presence of a master each time she plays. She also has a way of teaching and expressing herself in a way that is witty, charming, and often times hilarious. She is expressly talented individual and a natural teacher." 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?

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.

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?

Autumn S.
My three daughters (ages 11, 8 and 6) all take lessons with Rachel. She is very patient and makes the lessons fun for my daughters (with an awesome reward system that makes them want to practice). She expertly differentiates the lessons to each girl's skill level. All three of them have increased their knowledge and skill and are constantly learning new things. We will use her for years to come.
