How violin lessons work over video call

  • A camera for your bow arm

    For violin, your teacher needs to see your whole body: shoulders, neck, left hand, and bow arm. A single front-facing camera view isn't enough, so you adjust the framing at the start, from the side or at an angle, and sometimes change it for different exercises. With the camera fixed in place, your teacher can immediately spot a crooked bow or an elbow that's too high.

  • Tuning at home, step by step

    The violin has no frets, so every note depends on your ear and your fingers. When you start, your teacher guides you through tuning with the pegs and fine tuners, using the online violin tuner. Beginners need to turn the pegs carefully, and your teacher tells you when to do it and when to ask for help. Read more in how to tune a violin.

  • What your teacher corrects on camera

    Your teacher checks how you hold the violin and bow, your finger placement, and tension in your shoulders, then gives precise instructions to help you adjust. They can hear the essentials: intonation, rhythm, and consistent bowing. Subtle tone details depend on the microphone, so your teacher helps you set up your audio before you begin.

  • Taking turns, with backing tracks and recordings

    The slight connection delay means you can't play at exactly the same time. You take turns, use backing tracks, or send recordings between lessons for your teacher to review and suggest improvements.

Your first month, lesson by lesson

  1. Lesson 1: camera and audio checks, framing to show the bow, and your first guidance on holding the violin and relaxing your shoulders.
  2. Lesson 2: bow hold with open-string exercises, and a tuning check using the pegs and fine tuners.
  3. Lesson 3: your first finger placements on the fingerboard, with your teacher watching your left hand on camera and correcting your finger shape.
  4. Lesson 4: a simple melody played in turns with your teacher, a recording of your playing to review together, and a plan for the next month.

What you'll learn

  • Body posture, holding the violin and a tension-free bow hold.
  • Basic bow strokes, such as détaché and legato, and sound control.
  • Intonation by ear, scales, and first position on the fingerboard.
  • Reading music in treble clef from the very first pieces.
  • Tune your violin with pegs and fine tuners, and care for the strings, bridge, and bow hair.

How to set up your space and practice routine

  • Test the camera before your lesson: from the side or at an angle, with light on your left hand and the bow. Have your violin tuned and enough clear space to move your arm.

  • Use headphones or a simple microphone so your teacher can hear your intonation. See equipment for online lessons for the simplest options.

  • Practice a little at a time, often, in front of a mirror if you can, and record yourself once a week. Our guide on how to practice music at home helps you build a routine.

How online music lessons work

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a violin size if lessons are online?

The size depends on arm and hand measurements, and it changes over the years as a child grows. Your teacher guides you through measuring on camera before you buy. Read more in how to choose your first violin and its size.

Can I tune my violin myself at home?

Yes, gradually. At first, your teacher shows you how to use the fine tuners and tells you when to turn the pegs, because a string can break if you turn them incorrectly. While you learn, the online tuner gives you a reference pitch.

Can children take online violin lessons?

Yes, from age 4, with an adult nearby during the first lessons to help with the camera, tuning, and staying focused. Over time, your child becomes more independent and the adult gradually steps back. Read more on our violin for children page.

Which countries can I take lessons from, and in what language?

From any country, in Spanish. We currently don't have a violin teacher who teaches in English. Your teacher is in Colombia, where the clocks stay the same all year: Madrid is 6 hours ahead in winter and 7 in summer, and Mexico City is 1 hour behind.
