The quality of your lessons when learning violin is important. Natural talent plays its part and effort plays a bigger part, but the lessons guide you to become either a professional or just a mediocre violinist. Even if you pick up poor techniques from the lessons, those techniques will stick with you for some time to come. You'll be learning about your best options here.
There are different mediums through which one may learn the violin. There are pros and cons to each. The discussion will focus on the most effective ones, being online violin lessons and private violin lessons.
You'll find the most freedom going the digital route. When you decide to learn online, you can go at your own pace, go back over any lessons you need to focus on more, pause, look ahead, and more. You can learn almost anywhere you like instead of being limited to just one venue. This is by far the cheapest option as the creators have low costs for delivery and they had to put in a limited amount of work to teach a large number of people.
Since you're paying primarily for the raw value that you'll be receiving, an in-depth education from quality instructors is available to you like this. Should you try to get lessons from some of these individuals offline, your jaw would drop at the price, assuming you could even contact them. With a course called Violin Master Pro, you can learn from Eric Lewis for less than thirty dollars.
You'll pay more offline to be able to interact directly with your instructor. The instructor you choose can help with mistakes you might be making or frustrations you may be experiencing. Lack of a keen eye for detail might otherwise be a problem when looking to teach yourself. Furthermore, you can ask questions and absorb the mindset of your instructor, helping with frustrations and motivation. When other people are involved in your progress, you'll be more motivated to succeed in most cases.
Although online lessons can be found with only a search query, quality private lessons take more time and effort to find. You may try various local schools, music stores, or work through references of violin players you know or find. Music stores can almost always refer you to someone, even if they don't offer the lessons themselves. Although schools tend to put more of a focus on group education, it isn't that difficult to find private lessons from them either. If a teacher does free-lance work, they'll often be less expensive. Sometimes you can find teachers who really enjoy what they do, so they may cost even less. To seek out violin players, you may attend local concerts, recitals, and the like. You'll rarely have problems talking to the players in these environments.
When you have a list of people who could teach you, you should thoroughly interview them. Style, awards, their music career, method of teaching, and student achievements are all important. You should ask about price in the priority it is for you. These are more of guidelines of what to look for than rules you must follow. If you don't know these things you might be surprised if you end up with a teacher who doesn't work very well for you.
Sometimes you can find instructors who will come to your home if you want to minimize the interruption to your schedule. If time is a big problem for you, ask about this during the interview as well.
