Adult Violin Lessons
Many adult violin lessons start the instrument to create a soulful sound for personal enjoyment, surprise their friends and family with classical music, or learn a genre of music they’ve heard online or in concert. They are often people who have been successful in their career and have a high set of standards for themselves. They also feel keenly the passage of time and want a strategy to get to mastery quickly.
A teacher needs to meet an adult student where they are. They must be comfortable with the reality that this group may not be able to play for their local symphony or conservatory anytime soon, and they should be willing to help nurture their dream without suggesting their playing days are long gone.

A great way to do this is to encourage them to choose the pieces of music they love and that will inspire them to keep practicing. Then, work with them to develop a trajectory that will allow them to gradually progress toward those goals.
For many adults, juggling the demands of work and family life can make adding violin practice to their schedule feel like a game of Tetris without clearing any lines. By focusing on short, realistic goals and working together to establish a weekly routine, we can help students build the discipline to keep the violin in their lives.
If a student wants to invest in their violin, we recommend renting or buying from one of the many companies that offer instruments and support for adult beginners. They’re easy to use and provide a solid foundation for building skills. Having full ownership of the violin allows you to customize it and builds a connection with the instrument.
