If you're new to ViolinSchool, come and get started with an introductory violin class!

Introductory classes are a great way for you to:

• Find out more about ViolinSchool and how we teach
• First-Time Beginners: Discover how it feels to get started with the violin
• Restarters: Reactivate your skills, and make sure your learning is on the right track
• Already playing: Refresh the fundamentals, and find out which ViolinSchool Course is right for you

They also help us to:

• Understand your needs, previous experience, and preferred modes of learning
• Recommend the best place for you to start in our sequence of courses and live classes

If you've already decided to join one of our ViolinSchool Courses, we recommend a Full Enrolment, as this includes introductory classes (including The Fundamentals) at no extra cost.

For Adult Learners

Unless you've already reached Level (Grade) 5 or beyond, we usually recommend starting with our Violin Fundamentals class. This is available remotely or at our studio in London, England.

The Violin Fundamentals class is taught by ear, so you don't need to read music - anyone can take part! It's also a great refresher for more advanced players who wish to revise core bowing techniques, posture and tone production.

For violinists who already play to an advanced level, we also offer a 1-Month Trial Pass which gives access to all our classes, courses, and ensembles. Join us for 1 month, try everything out, and find out what's best for you! Click here to register for a 1-month trial pass!

For Experienced Players

Please get in touch with us today, and we'll arrange for you to speak with one of the Coaching Team. They will informally assess your current level, and recommend the best place for you to start.

This can usually be done over the phone, but if necessary we'll invite either you to arrange a time to speak via webcam (for example, if any technique issues need to be identified), or to send in a video of your playing.

We will then be able to make the best recommendation for you.

For more information, please contact us today at [email protected] and we will be very happy to help!
