I have a Master of Music degree in Music Education from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and 14 years of full-time teaching experience. I have taught online almost exclusively since 2023. My teaching philosophy is that music is for everyone. I like to break skills down step-by-step so you feel comfortable when it's time to combine them. Students say I am patient and meet them at their level. I can't wait to teach you!

Why one-to-one online works for violin

Violin is a two-camera instrument: one angle on your bow arm and one on your left hand gives a specialist a clearer view of your technique than sitting beside you ever does. Because you play in your own room on your own instrument, everything you fix in the lesson carries straight into your practice.

Where you'll start

Beginner

Posture, bow hold, open strings, first position, simple tunes.

Intermediate

Position work, scales in multiple keys, vibrato, longer repertoire.

Advanced

Concerto and sonata repertoire, orchestral excerpts, audition prep.

Online violin lessons — FAQs

Can violin technique really be taught online?+

Yes. Two well-placed camera angles (one on your bow arm, one on your left hand) give your teacher a clearer view than most in-person lessons. Your teacher will help you set this up in the first lesson.

What size violin do I need?+

Adults use a full-size (4/4) violin. Children typically start on 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or 3/4 depending on arm length — your teacher can measure remotely and recommend the right size before you buy or rent.

How much do online violin lessons cost?+

Violin lessons on Musably typically range from $30 to $80 per hour. Many teachers hold conservatoire degrees and orchestral experience — filter by credentials to find your fit.

Do you teach the Suzuki method?+

Several of our teachers are Suzuki-trained, and others use ABRSM, Trinity, or Russian-school approaches. You can search for the method you want on our teacher listing.

How do I get started?+

Take the matching quiz or browse violin teachers, pick a time, and book a free trial lesson. Your teacher will assess your level and set up a plan on the trial call.
