Description
This course teaches students the first steps in learning how to play the violin. So if you've just got a new violin and don't know where to start it's the perfect beginners course for you.
The course videos last less than an hour but you can expect to have to practice each individual lesson repeatedly to get good results. Everybody learns at a different pace so it's important that you just work through the course steadily at you own individual speed.
The course starts right at the beginning and teaches you hold to hold the violin and bow. How to identify the different parts of the violin. How to tune the strings correctly. How to position the bow on the strings and make simple bowing movements. Then a 3 finger pattern is demonstrated so that you can play different notes correctly. Finally all the newly learned techniques are combined and you will be taught how to play three simple traditional tunes.
There's no fluff in this course and technical jargon and music theory has been kept to a minimum, I have concentrated on teaching good practical techniques and tried to make them as enjoyable and fun to learn as I can.
I believe that everyone has the ability to learn an instrument if they have the right mental attitude and are prepared to put a bit of work in. So if you if you fancy learning the violin join me now and I'll have you playing a simple tune in a matter of a few hours!.

I have played the violin for most of my life - over 20 years. I have a huge passion for this wonderful and versatile instrument! I have been classically trained and have passed all eight grades with The Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM) and was awarded a Merit at Grade eight. Alongside the classical training I have received, I have also developed and adapted my skillset to suit a more traditional style of music. I have played in Country, Reggae, Ceildgh, Indie, Folk and Irish Groups and while doing so taught myself to 'play by ear' and improvise. I perform regularly at events, weddings and pubs (I'm also proud to boast that I have performed live on the radio and for Sky TV too!). I love playing, and the enjoyment it gives others, but over the years I have also found a huge satisfaction in teaching, and passing my skills onto others. I have many years experience in tuition, and have almost 100% pass rate for all my students who have sat the ABRSM Graded exams. (With the exception of one student, who overcame her nerves and did pass on her second attempt.) I currently teach three days a week at a local secondary school, where I offer tuition in the violin, piano and flute. I believe that my teaching style is coherent, patient and enthusiastic. I am confident that this is conveyed in my online video courses too. I take a huge pride in all of my students' journeys and success, and should you take my course, I will endeavour to respond to all queries as soon as I can, offering you continued support as you master the wonderful instrument that is the violin!
