Special Udemy Student's Membership Plan

All Violin Courses Included with Membership

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I join ViolinPanda if I already have this course on Udemy?

Udemy gives you videos, but violin requires feedback, correction, and guidance. At ViolinPanda you get all my courses, personal feedback on your playing, one-on-one check-ins, and access to upcoming lessons that will not be available on Udemy.

What happens if I don’t join ViolinPanda?

You will still have the Udemy videos, but you will not receive any updates, new courses, or feedback. Progress will be much slower without corrections and guidance.

What’s included in the ViolinPanda membership?

Membership gives you:

  • Access to all my current and upcoming courses (beginner, intermediate, advanced)

  • The ability to enroll in any course level at any time

  • Video feedback and corrections from me

  • Free one-on-one check-ins every two weeks

  • A supportive community of violin learners worldwide

What makes this Udemy student plan special?

As a Udemy student, you unlock a special membership plan at 50% off.

This is only available for 7 days after joining.

How does feedback work?

You simply upload a video of your playing inside ViolinPanda. I will review it personally, give corrections, and guide you on what to improve next.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. The membership is flexible. You can cancel your monthly or quarterly subscription whenever you want.

Do you have courses suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes! Rimma Strings Academy is designed specifically for adult beginners, with step-by-step lessons to guide you from your first note to playing full pieces. No matter your level, there is a course for everyone.

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.
If you’re in the UK and join the annual membership during our current offer, you don’t need to buy one — we’ll send you a free beginner violin.
Outside the UK? You’ll still get advice on choosing, and by joining now, you’ll be first in line when the free violin offer becomes available in your region.

Do I need any prior music experience?

Not at all! The course starts from the very basics and assumes no prior musical knowledge.

Do I have to incur extra cost for a private feedback session?

No, all of this is already covered by your Academy membership. You will receive personalised comments on the videos you play as well as free access to all of Rimma’s live classes.

I have a violin teacher already. Is this still for me?

Absolutely! Some of our members already have a violin teacher but still benefit greatly from this academy. Your violin teacher is probably only available for about an hour per week, whereas our academy is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our encouraging community, communal practice sessions, and additional feedback will help you stay motivated to practise during the week and be as prepared as possible for your private lessons!

How long will it take me to learn the violin?

Learning time varies by individual, but with consistent practice and our structured lessons, you’ll see progress in just a few weeks.

Can I learn at my own pace?

Yes! The course is self-paced, so you can progress as quickly or slowly as you’d like. You’ll never feel rushed or left behind.

Will I be able to play songs by the end of the course?

Absolutely! By the end of the beginner modules, you’ll be able to play simple songs and gradually progress to more complex pieces.

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"

The Best Start for Violin Beginners
I'm already loving my lessons with Rimma. I love how she explains things in a basic level for all to understand. Her accent makes my learning much more enjoyable too.
