Learn Violin Online and In-Person!

Chat room, and in-person classes for beginners are starting soon, students who have played may join an experienced class at any time. Please use this page as a guide to find a class, to learn about schedule modifications, and to find info about our recitals.

Adult Beginners

Group lessons are affordable, fun, and a great way to make new friends—and maybe being part of a group will give you that little nudge to keep practicing. Our sessions will cover posture, holding the violin and bow, basic technique, and fun music. You do not need to know anything about the violin or music—this class is for absolute newcomers! You probably won't notice that every lesson is designed to build your skills methodically, and while you're home, you can access helpful info and pictures, fingerings, sound clips, and exercises from the Students section of this web site. After this two month course, students will be ready to participate in recitals. MORE

Experienced Adults

Please write ed@stringschool.me and describe your experience and/or what pieces you are currently playing. From there we can see if there is a class near your level of playing that you can visit and observe—or participate in if you wish! Feel free to prepare a short video of your playing (a minute or so will do) if you wish to have help in being placed in a class, or we can meet via video chat to see where you're at with your violin.

Private Lessons for Kids

Violin lessons are one of the best ways to help your child develop movement skills, reasoning ability, and creativity! Children who learn music adapt to other learning experiences with greater ease, social sensitivity, and self confidence. Violin studies enhance a child's well being, and young students will benefit from a better balanced education. MORE
