Frequently Asked Questions

  • Introduction

    Violin lessons are professionally taught courses and one-on-one instruction sessions that help individuals of varying ages learn how to play and understand the fundamentals of the instrument. While specific lesson plans can vary among instructors, beginning violin students typically learn how to hold the instrument correctly, bowing techniques, tuning, and how to play scales.

    Violin students are also assigned etudes, or shorter musical compositions to help sharpen their skills and build confidence in performing. In addition to individual lessons and group instruction, violin lessons are also taught at community colleges, music camps, and performing arts schools.
  • How do you start learning to play the violin?

    You can start learning to play the violin by taking lessons. Violin lessons are available for students at all skill levels from beginner to advanced. Lessons with a skilled instructor help students learn everything from the basics of holding the instrument and understanding scales to how to play advanced sonatas.

  • Is violin hard to learn?

    The violin is considered a difficult instrument to learn. However, with continued practice, many students can become advanced players within four years. Learning violin may be easier for some students than others, depending on how comfortable they are with the instrument, along with their overall comprehension of the sheet music and violin techniques.

  • How do you learn violin notes?

    To learn violin notes, a student must first learn about the staff and clef, or the lines on sheet music pages, then they must learn the names of each note, which are A, B, C, D, E, F, and G. Students who can pick up notes by listening, or "play by ear," may be able to learn violin notes without sheet music.

  • Can you learn to play the violin by yourself?

    It is possible to learn to play the violin by yourself if you can read music and follow violin instruction either through books or online tutorials. Additionally, certain people have the ability to recognize violin notes in songs and repeat them on the instrument.

  • How long does it take to learn the violin?

    Certain violin songs can be learned within two to three months, however this can vary based on a student's overall comprehension of the instrument. With continual practice, many students can become skilled violinists within three to five years.

  • Is playing the violin harder than playing the guitar?

    While players' specific experiences can vary, in general, it's believed that playing the violin is harder than playing the guitar. This is due to factors such as playing postures, instrument size, and the fact that guitars are designed with fretboards that aid in creating notes, while violins don't have fretboards.
