Our teachers study music at Australian universities, blending real skill with a modern, fun approach.
Because of the old-fashioned way violin used to be taught, many people picture a strict teacher drilling notes into unwilling children. Our aim is to make students love the violin. We usually start with songs the student already knows, which makes learning easier and more fun for beginners.

We're currently students at universities across Australia. We live in various parts of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth and are looking for more 1 on 1 violin tutoring students in their own home.

Currently a student at the University of Technology Sydney while preparing for the AMusA, I am an experienced tutor who loves to share the joy of music with my students. I aim to make every lesson as fun and rewarding as possible.

School age & teens
Our lessons cover a vast array of musical styles, keeping students interested and broadening their musical horizons. As students progress we bump them up to the next level, and in addition to private lessons and group rehearsals we typically get them into live performances on stage.
Adults & returning players

Kayla teaches all three of our children violin lessons weekly and has done so for more than a year. She is great with the kids (ages 7 to 14). She is not only talented and knowledgeable about music, but also passionate about the art form. She has been excellent about keeping them interested and excited about music and performance.
My violin teacher, John, is superb and very talented. He is very patient with his students and he cares. He specialises in violin lessons and tailors them to suit the needs of the students, which I actually consider incredible! You won't regret taking lessons.

Our professional local violin teachers can help students of all ages — seniors, adults, teenagers and young children.

Your teacher will ask about your favourite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.

Absolutely not! There is no right age to begin learning a musical instrument, and the best time to start is now. We specialise in violin lessons for adults and can teach you your favourite songs, how to read music, theory, or just about anything you’d like to learn.
Our teachers are qualified to give lessons in all styles, whether it is popular, contemporary, classical, jazz or musical theatre. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play, and encourage students to explore all genres.
Our tutors are studying music at Australian universities and are highly experienced in teaching students of all ages and skill levels. Being a musician doesn’t automatically make you a teacher, so we search for those who are best qualified to mentor our students. Every tutor has undertaken a government-certified Working With Children check, and they are friendly and patient so students feel comfortable learning at their own pace.
There is no set answer. With regular practice, a basic level of violin can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to keep improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.
Yes. Even without a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practise. Simply monitoring that they do their exercises a certain number of times per day helps the student progress, and parents are welcome to sit in on lessons.

Either way, violin lessons can speed up your progress, make practice more enjoyable, and improve your chances of gaining any real success on the violin. The modest cost of 1 on 1 violin lessons far outweighs the long-term rewards.
In addition to the physical aspect of learning to play the violin, your teacher will introduce you to the basics of music theory, such as chords, chord inversion and note counting. You will also learn exercises to facilitate and improve your technique more quickly.
In short, your violin teacher can offer techniques and insights that will accelerate your progress in a way that likely will not happen if you teach yourself.
The fundamentals of music theory, violin technique and performance are covered in every lesson. We encourage our students to play a range of musical styles as they progress, to open their minds and keep them interested.
We keep a close eye on our students' development, and as soon as we think they are able, we bump them up to the next level and challenge them with more advanced techniques. The more students are immersed in the ins-and-outs of both technique and theory, the better for their musical development. At this stage, in addition to private lessons and group rehearsals, we typically get our students into live performances on stage.
Lessons for young learners (students under 6) focus on the fundamentals of music, which can be built upon as they grow.
