How to Find Free Online Violin Lessons
Some people spend a lot of time hunting for the perfect teacher, one who suits their personality and one that can fulfil both the technical and musical demands they require.
A quick alternative to this is to look for a recommendation from another musician. It may be a good idea to browse some blogs, websites or forums that target music and in particular violin lessons. Sometimes it is very easy to see a highly popular teacher mentioned on many different platforms. It is a safe bet that the teacher with the recommendations is of a good quality.
Personally I recommend looking for a well-known or famous teacher. They often have incredibly professional websites with downloadable resources, books, PDF's, videos and backing tracks for you to jam along with.
Let's face it, they have a reputation to uphold and they will not be giving poor quality violin lessons whilst there name and reputation is at stake.
With any of the internets free online violin lessons it is a good idea to look for some type of continuing education choice. So if you enjoy the lessons then there is the option to continue learning and playing for as long as you wish.

Violin Lessons For Beginners
Just a quick post today.....
In the last few weeks I have had close to 100 people e-mail me asking if 'ViolinMasterPro' is a course suitable for beginners. I'm not quite sure why this is, perhaps the website looks as though it is aimed to be more intermediate player looking to advance their skills.
Whilst that is true, this course is designed to take a complete newbie, from the beginning, straight out of the blocks as a total beginner and teach them everything they need to know about playing the violin and becoming a good all-round musician.
Personally I don't think Eric Lewis has misssed anything in his online violin lessons course and the most basic beginners will not be left to figure anything out by themselves.
I hope this clears up a few peoples questions.

Practice Makes Perfect
I guess I am writing this post as...well...almost a letter or sometimes it feels like a prescription. Although I am always glad to help out and give my opinion.
I get asked this question a lot:
'How much do I need to practice'?
Well my answer is always the same:
It depends on:
- What you want from the violin
- How fast you want to progress
- What pieces you want to learn etc etc
What I mean is that it will take a different level of approach if you want to become a teacher of the violin compared to if you just want to play a few tunes to entertain you and your family on a Saturday night.
You have to sit back and decide why you are learning this incredible instrument, then the final answer is 'you practice as much as you need to'.
If you are learning to play a new piece and you are practicing for 30 minutes a day as a beginner and your making good progress that you are pleased with, then bingo, you have found the level. But if you aren't happy with how the piece sounds or not happy with the tempo at which you can play it, then up your practice or approach your practice from a new angle.
This is my exact approach to practice. I never set a daily limit on my practice otherwise I would be as boring as the four walls I stared at. When I want to practcie I do it, when something needs work I work on it. If I have a gig coming up, I prepare.
This is music guys, not the army. Look deep into your heart and you will know how much you want or need to practice.
Remember, music is first and foremost about having fun. If you aren't having fun? Change it.

Violin Master Pro
Violin Lessons Online from Violin Master Pro is a self study violin course from one of the worlds greatest players, Eric Lewis. This is why it is sometimes shown as The Complete Eric Lewis Course.
It aims to be a complete solution to learning the violin and as E Lewis plays with the Manhattan String Quartet, you are in pretty safe hands. He has toured the world extensively, has taught both privately and in institutes of higher education for more than 40 years, enabling many players to reach their dreams.
The course began in 1988, while Prof. Lewis was conducting youth and university orchestras.He designed a new method that would enable players of all ages to expand their horizons and play incredibly difficult pieces of music in a shorter amount of time. He accelerated the learning curve for young string players to produce concerts of Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky.
His method was obviously recorded in writing to begin with, but with the .com boom and technological progressions of the 21st century this has now been packaged into an online video course.
The course includes....
- An extensive video library of 1000 videos - where you will learn from Lewis.
- MP3 Jam tracks to play along with - methodically introduced for the best training.
- Violin Master Pro membership with full access and constantly updated tips and techniques.
All with a full money back guarantee if your not 100% satisfied.
Heres some of what you can learn from Violin Master Pro....
- Learn to read music and master rhythm.
- Play every style of music from classical to rock.
- Master music theory.
- Learn to improvise.
- Play from memory.
- Uncover the secrets of muscular memory.
- Discover the one thing no violin teachers tell their students!
To read more about what you can learn go to
Violin Master Pro by Clicking Here!
The program overall is excellent and it is satisfying thousands of players around the world, but as always there are a few conflicting views.
As a musician myself I find a lot of the negative views probably come from the downside to the program. You still have to practice! Irrelevant of who teaches you, there are still sacrifices of time and effort that need to be made on a regular basis.
All that being said, if you're not completely satisfied with the product it does come with a money back guarantee, unlike most lessons!
