Why Should You Take Violin Lessons From A Professional?
Learning the violin from a professional is a must. It will save you a lot of time and frustration during the process of learning.
Let’s say you want to learn on your own.
There will be progress, but your progress will be minimal compared to when you take violin lessons with a professional.
- You will keep guessing if you’re playing the right notes
- You won’t find out if you actually improved every week
- You will develop bad habits and incorrect techniques
- You will get lazy practicing since nobody is watching your progress
- You can save money, but it will take you much more time to see improvement.
- There are times when practicing by yourself will get boring
- You have a high chance of giving up
These are just some benefits of learning how to play the violin from a professional:
- Work with your personal professional mentor
- Learn the basics in just a matter of several months (depending on your learning curve)
- Correct any improper or bad habits like your posture, violin hold, etc.
- You will gain the skills that you will never learn on your own
- You will gain more self-confidence if you learn to play an impressive instrument
- Improve your memory and develop complex motor skills
- Improve imagination and creativity

Frequently Asked Questions
While you do need some talent to become a world-class musician, the violin is a skill to learn just like any other instrument. And any skill can be learned, improved or even mastered as long as you put in the effort to practice.
The ideal amount is 1.5-2 hours per day, but if you only have limited time, then you can practice for only a few minutes a day. In this case, consistency is more important than a big volume of practice.
While it’s true that you can learn on your own, you won’t have anyone to correct any bad habits or mistakes. You would have a lot of blind spots that you wouldn’t be able to detect for yourself unless you have a skilled teacher to teach you in person. So having a violin teacher in person is still essential.
Many of our students are in their middle age, some are even in their senior years! As long as you’re willing to learn and not give up during plateaus, then you can definitely learn at ANY age. Scientific research in modern times shows that any adult can learn any skill with the right type of training and practice.
It will depend on your learning curve. Every student has a different journey. Some will learn more quickly than others. The important thing is you’ll keep practising and learning, and not quit if you have a hard time improving.
It takes approximately 10 years of consistent practice to master the violin but it will depend on a lot of factors like your learning curve, amount of practice and quality of training among others. But even if you think you’ve already mastered the violin, you can still find room for improvement. Even the best violin players find new ways to improve their craft every day!
We recommend you don’t spend much if you’re just starting out. Even the most affordable violin can be a good investment, it’s in the musician and not the instrument.
