Just what I needed…

Would I recommend this resource to my family and friends? Yes, I would.
I am in my mid seventies and have found this thorough, accessible and friendly. I sing and play several instruments. I wanted to add the violin to my repertoire so proceeded to teach myself. This was fine until I sprained my wrist tendon which stopped my playing for about three months.
I thought it time then to re-visit basics to learn what, if anything, I was doing wrong. This included poor bow hold, poor left-hand positioning and incorrect fingering. I have taken my time ensuring I apply the principles shown and have made good progress. This course was exactly what I needed to refine and improve my playing.

The violin is a beautiful sounding instrument

The violin is a beautiful sounding instrument that takes much dedication in order to play well. The dedication I am speaking about contains two key ingredients. These ingredients are knowing the sequence of what needs to be learned and the proper way of practicing what has been learned. Julia’s VIOLINSPIRATION has provided me with this winning formula. I am more than pleased with the progress I have made under Julia’s tutorship.
The violin may be one of the hardest instruments to learn how to play well. It is, also, one of the most beautiful sounding of instruments. If it is your wish to learn to play this wonderful instrument, I recommend Julia’s Violin Academy.

I highly recommend Julia's Violin Academy (JVA)

I highly recommend Julia's Violin Academy for adults who would like to learn, or perhaps relearn, the violin, as was the case for me. This academy gives you online access to systematic courses to develop your violin skills from the very basics to beginner, improver, intermediate, and beyond. There are opportunities to attend practice sessions with academy members, monthly recitals to help you get comfortable playing for others in a low-stakes environment, and plenty of instructional master classes, such as one on note reading. You'll find plenty of support and encouragement from fellow violin enthusiasts and the JVA staff. You can submit videos for feedback to further hone your skills. I can't say enough good things about this academy! Worth every penny!

The perfect complement to learning

I began learning the violin as a 42 year old. And overwhelmed is an understatement for how I felt. I do use an offline instructor. And when I saw I began, I mean with no prior knowledge of sheet music, notes, and sight reading. Out of interest I would lookup every single term around violin playing, and Julia's Violin Academy would show up. I got started with the free resources, and eventually I signed up for the programme. I am definitely please with how simplified the instruction is. Of course, progress depends on my own practice. No matter who you learn from, without practice it's all futile. Julia's Violin Academy gave me the ability to believe that I can stay course and keep at it, and the little fruits of progress fill me with so much joy that it all feels totally worth it.

Violin starter kit

I am just a beginner and violin is pretty new to me. While I am struggling with how to start playing it, as violin is very special, unlike other musical instruments, I really have no cue how and where I shall start with
fingers placement。

The violin starter kit is a very fruitful online training programme, with YouTube videos and some PDF files, a step by step guidance tools. From there you will receive many fruitful instructions to enhance the skill or techniques.
Besides , their support team will continue to check with you via email and provided suggestions to resolve any issues you might have.

Highly recommended to anyone who is interested to play violin via online training.

Violin starter kit

I am an adult beginner in violin. I found Julia's violin starter kit online and purchased it. I cannot recommend this enough. There is a wealth of information for absolute beginners with easy to follow video tutorials and downloadable PDF''s.
I found the answers to many questions and am still working through the exercises. I have progressed much faster than I expected. From scales and bow practise to 'practise plans' along with daily encouragement.
Julia's violin starter kit is a must !!

Violin Playing

I recently enrolled in Julia's Violin Starter Course as an adult student (81 years old). I started taking private lessons from a local Music Academy 10 months ago and now using this course as a "double" to enhance my violin playing abilities.I find the course to be very satisfying, infused with details and demonstrative videos. The course is very well structured and has encouraged me to practice in longer daily sessions.
Thank you, Julia.

Practice Smarter.

There was a lot of helpful information available through this course. I didn’t have to go through in any order so I was able to work on things that I have been working on with my private teacher. This course helped me focus my practice during practice sprints. The videos were clear and concise and easy to follow.

I have recently enrolled for the violin Starter Kit. I have found the instructions very helpful and extremely clear.
For a number of years I have been playing the Bagpipe and one has to learn the tunes. It seems much the same withe the violin except that there are more notes! I am determined to learn and with Julia's help I will get there. Many thanks.
