Want to play the violin, but don’t know where to start?

I know it can seem daunting at first, and you must have a thousand questions, like:

“Is my child (or am I) too young/old to start violin lessons?”

Violin lessons can begin as early as age 3–5, with modified techniques and instruments for young children. Older children, teens, and adults can also start violin lessons and achieve success with consistent practice. Many adults find starting lessons later in life rewarding and a good way to keep the brain engaged.

“How much practice time is needed, and can I fit it into my schedule?”

For beginners, short, consistent practice sessions (10-20 minutes per day) are usually sufficient to make steady progress. As students advance, they can gradually increase their practice time. I can help create a practice plan that fits your schedule and balances other commitments.

“What are the costs involved in violin lessons, and are they worth it?”

Lesson costs vary depending on the teacher’s experience, location, and lesson duration, with prices typically ranging from $30 to $100+ per hour. Many find the cost worthwhile, as music education can enhance cognitive skills, focus, and self-discipline. Some schools or teachers may offer payment plans or discounts for package deals.

“Do I need to buy an expensive violin, or can I start with a rental?”

Renting a violin is a practical option as it allows students to explore their interests without a major upfront investment. Many shops also offer rent-to-own programs, allowing you to eventually own the violin if the student commits long-term.


Have you been playing for a while, but not seeing the progress you expected?

Learning to play the Violin requires a purposeful, structured approach. Your FREE assessment is the foundation of your success!

“I felt like I was stuck for months, but Christine helped me break down advanced techniques into manageable steps.”

Working with such an experienced instructor helped me tackle difficult techniques in smaller parts, making them less overwhelming and helped me achieve real progress again.

“I thought I was practicing enough, but Christine showed me how to practice smarter, not just longer.”

I learned how to be more effective with my practice time by focusing on specific areas, and I started to see real improvement without adding hours to my schedule.

“I plateaued with bowing techniques until Christine helped me master smaller movements.”

Focusing on fine motor skills in my bow hand has made my sound smoother and more expressive, allowing me to add more nuance to my playing.

“Christine’s tips on handling performance anxiety have completely changed how I approach live performances.”

By learning Christine’s techniques for managing nerves, I’ve been able to perform more confidently and now I actually enjoy sharing my music with others.
