During our violin lessons students will learn a range of different music theory subjects. The first thing we teach is notation which covers the staff, clefs, note names, rhythms, rests, intervals, meter and time signatures, key signatures, and dynamics. Students will also be taught about scales and chords (harmony), melodies, phrases, and musical forms. Whether you are an absolute beginner or already know a lot about music theory our violin lessons are individually tailored to cover everything from the most basic scales to the most advanced notation.
Violin Lessons For Adults
I have been taking violin lessons from Janice for about six months now and during that time I have seen a dramatic improvement in my technique and skills. She is extremely patient and very knowledgeable about what the best methods are for learning new things quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking about starting violin lessons.Sylvia Lee
My ten year old daughter recently started taking private violin lessons with Janice Ahn and she just absolutely loves them. Janice is always full of energy and comes well prepared to each lesson ensuring that my daughter is not only learning but having a fun time whilst doing so.Dana Choe
As a full-time violin teacher with more than 12 years of violin teaching experience, I have made it my life's mission to teach violin to adults in the most efficient, effective and fun manner possible.
"I've been taking violin group classes at the NYC Violin Studio for two years now and I love it. I started as a beginner and now I'm in the intermediate class. Both Antoinette and Marie are amazing teachers. Even now with the covid pandemic, taking online classes I've improved a lot, and also I've enjoyed playing and the concerts. I can't wait to start the summer semester!"
"I cannot recommend NYC Violin Studio enough. I have been to other schools in NYC and this is by far the best. Scheduling is incredibly easy. If I needed to miss a class I could make it up on another date. The instruction is fantastic. I think the instructors understand that most of the students aren't planning on becoming concert violinists, so they focus on teaching interesting pieces while providing enough theory and technique to improve without completely overwhelming us. Truly top-notch professionals who make the class fun!"
You can start violin lessons at age 3 & up. But not every child is ready that early. Please, have a try-out lesson first. Variety of development tests will be performed. After the try-out you will find out whether your child is ready or not.

The violin is a popular, four stringed instrument, played with a bow. The modern violin evolved from many historical bowed instruments, emerging in 16th century Italy. It is widely used in classical and popular music and is featured as a solo as well as part of a larger string section. Sometimes referred to as a fiddle, the violin is related to other string instruments such as the viola and cello.
Students will learn a variety of skills to help them develop as musicians, learning how to read music and play repertoire. As a student progresses, they will learn about different styles and genres of music. Our violin students are exposed to a wide variety of music such as classical and pop. We encourage advancing students to collaborate with other musicians and vocalists; many of our more advanced violin students practice their collaborative skills with other students.
The violin is a beautiful instrument requiring a lot of discipline and practice. An excellent solo instrument, the violin is also a good choice for students who want to be a part of a large ensemble. Many of our violin students go on to play in school and community bands and orchestras.
A musician never truly stops learning! How quickly a student advances depends on age and the amount of practice put in. Your teacher will help you devise a practice plan to help you reach your violin goals.
There is no set answer of how long it takes to learn. With regular practice a basic level of playing can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long term-basis because they want to be constantly improving and they find the lessons enjoyable. The best results are found with consistent practice and performance goals. To see great results, at least a year commitment is needed.
Rest the violin on your collarbone and support it slightly with the left hand, and the shoulder. Next, gently rest the side of your face on the instrument to add a little stabilizing weight.. Make sure your violin is held parallel to the floor. Because the left hand must move somewhat freely up and down the neck of the violin during performance, it is best if not too much support is required from the left hand. Practicing letting go briefly of the left hand can help ensure that your shoulder collarbone and head are really doing most of the work to support the instrument. Walking around a little while holding the instrument can help train you to be more comfortable. sliding the left hand up and down the neck will help prepare you for the next steps.
The Shoreline and Ballard Academies of Music and Dance are devoted to enriching the lives of their students through the education and promotion of the performing arts. We use music and dance lessons to teach life lessons.
Then The Ballard Academy is for you. And the best part is that you can register at any time of the year! Our professional facility has sound dampened rooms with windows in every door. All of our instructors are university trained and have undergone a criminal background check for your piece of mind. And we always have a front desk person to assist you. In addition, our academy is free from the distractions present in home lessons and lessons offered in the back of noisy music stores.
Our strings program offers private instruction in violin, viola or fiddle. Our private violin lessons start as young as age 5. We have students of all ages from adults to children. For younger children we highly encourage a parent to sit in on the lesson to help the student at home with things such as posture and hand positioning. Our violin, viola and cello teachers have university or college degrees in their instrument and many perform regularly with local orchestras or bands.
This is a great idea since these group classes are affordable and designed around a traditional full-time work schedule. However, the infrequency of the classes (particularly those offered once-a-week) does not provide the level of concentrated instruction time serious violin students require in the long-run.
If you're committed to the violin, invest in private instruction. Many instructors will come to your home to make things easier for you. These 45 minute to one-hour long classes will feel like a few weeks-worth or more of the teacher-diluted group instruction you're accustomed to, allowing you to obtain more personalized feedback about your technique, insight into the most inspiring music selections for your taste, and an ability to stretch yourself beyond what group classes offer.
Let's face it, between work and family time, most adults simply don't have time to put in the traditional 30- to 60-minutes per day to practice. That means you have to make shorter, more infrequent practice sessions count.
Record private lessons and play them back in the car or during your workout to remember the exact items your instructor recommended for improvement. Then, using a mirror and your ear - work in a concentrated way on those points to make quicker progress in the areas where you need it most.
Online music apps have come a long way and some of them are designed especially for the violin. If private instruction is outside the budget, take advantage of good music apps to gain extra support, accessing tips, video lessons, sheet music, violin-specific exercises, and so on.
Are your kids learning to play instruments? Why not play with them - ensemble style? Even if you play at different levels, practicing violin with your child and their instrument is a great way to develop improvisational skills - not to mention set a great example by making practice a priority while keeping it fun and creative to boot.
If you succumb to the idea that you're too tired to practice, you'll lose momentum quickly. If nothing else, take the violin out for 5- or 10-minutes to practice scales or a few measures of new music. Even that little bit is exponentially better than nothing. 2ff7e9595c
