Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own violin to start?
Yes. We recommend a rental from a reputable shop for proper setup and sizing. Our catalog includes a “Setup & Sizing Guide” resource to help you evaluate options.
How much should I practice each week?
Begin with 15–20 minutes per day, five days a week. Consistent, relaxed sessions build tone faster than occasional long sessions.
Is the course suitable for absolute beginners?
Absolutely. We assume no prior experience. The first module covers instrument handling, tuning, and bow safety step by step.
What if my bow squeaks?
Squeaks often come from tilted hair or drifting contact point. Our “Gentle Tone Lab” sessions target straight bowing and even pressure to stabilize tone.
Do you offer live coaching?
Yes. Coaching credits are available in the catalog. You’ll receive targeted feedback on posture, bow path, and simple intonation checkpoints.
Can teens take the course?
Yes. The material is age-appropriate for teens and adults. Parents may assist younger students with practice planning.
What format are lessons?
Self-paced videos with transcript, printable checklists, and optional live feedback. You can study on desktop or mobile in dark or light theme.
Do you provide refunds?
We offer a 7-day satisfaction window for individual courses you have not completed. Bundles and coaching follow the policy outlined in our Terms.
