Never To Late To Start
I like the simple steps of the course. For someone of my age (77) who has never played a violin before, it is important to start at the very beginning. I enjoy the tutors calm way and her excellent knowledg. Thank you for this delightful lessons.

Adult Learner Approved
As an adult learner, choosing an instructor was quite a challenge. Rimma has proven to be a refreshing and wise choice. She has brought a new dimension to my play; improving my technique, which has ultimately led to an improved intonation and overall playing.

Having a Blast Learning Violin
Fun and engaging lessons! I have now been playing for about 4 months. Rimma has made it so much fun and I am amazed at how much I enjoy both my lessons and practising. Best investment I have ever made”

Perfect for Serious Beginners
This course has been really helpful to me. All the lessons are very detailed. Learning has been enjoyable and I have quite progressed on my playing skills since I started. I do recommend this course to anyone aspiring to learn the Violin from zero level.

Loving the Progress So Far
This teacher is fabulous. She first teaches the basis and then she teaches how to play some popular songs on the violin. That was really awesome. When I completed half of the course, I was already able play beginners songs that i wanted to play like "somewhere over the rainbow"

Do I need to have a violin before joining?

No, you don’t need to have a violin before joining ViolinPanda. Many of our new students start by learning the basics, such as music theory, rhythm exercises, and understanding the parts of a violin, before they pick up an instrument.

However, if you’re ready to play, we recommend renting or purchasing a violin early in your journey. Our course includes tips on selecting the right violin and accessories for your skill level and budget!

What kind of violin should I buy?

The course includes guidance on choosing a violin. We recommend starting with a beginner-friendly model or renting one if you’re unsure.
