Lessons built around your life, not ours

Every student is different. We shape each lesson around your goals, pace and the music you actually want to play.

Personalised, one-on-one

Lessons tailored to your goals, learning pace and musical taste — your best chance at real success on the violin.

Parent-friendly

You're welcome to sit in — a lovely way to hear how a song should sound and stay close to your child's progress.

Flexible scheduling

Depending on teacher availability, lessons can be held any day of the week — mornings, evenings and weekends included.

No commuting or waiting

Skip the traffic and waiting rooms. Schedule a lesson and your teacher comes to you.

Comfortable setting

Home is where students feel most at ease — and ease means sharper focus and faster progress.

University-trained tutors

Our teachers study music at Australian universities, blending real skill with a modern, fun approach.

Watch your child's talent shine

Because of the old-fashioned way violin used to be taught, many people picture a strict teacher drilling notes into unwilling children. Our aim is to make students love the violin. We usually start with songs the student already knows, which makes learning easier and more fun for beginners.

  • Relaxed, distraction-free learning at home
  • Parents are welcome to watch or join in
  • Patient, enthusiastic tutors who make lessons fun

Ages 5+ · beginners

Playful first lessons for young children

Lessons for young learners focus on the fundamentals of music, which can be built upon as they grow. Children as young as five can begin learning the violin and basic music theory, starting with songs they already know.

Every beginner receives a free beginner songbook (valued at $22) to get their learning journey started quicker than they could imagine.

School age & teens

Structured programs that balance skill and creativity

Our lessons cover a vast array of musical styles, keeping students interested and broadening their musical horizons. As students progress we bump them up to the next level, and in addition to private lessons and group rehearsals we typically get them into live performances on stage.

Teens can prepare for AMEB exams, school orchestra auditions and performances.

Adults & returning players

Flexible, judgment-free lessons at your pace

It's never too late to learn to play the violin, and our teachers are used to teaching adults just as much as children. Whether it is jazz, popular music or classical, lessons focus on the styles you are interested in.

Learn your favourite songs, how to read music, theory — whatever you'd like. We teach popular, contemporary, classical, jazz and musical theatre.

Music theory foundations

Chords, chord inversion, rhythm, scales and note counting.

Sight-reading & ear training

Read music with confidence and train a sharper musical ear.

Posture, bow hold & left hand

Correct set-up from day one, plus exercises that improve your technique more quickly.

Tuning, intonation & timing

Tune your own violin, play in tune and keep steady rhythm with a metronome.

Pizzicato, arco & vibrato

The core techniques, from first position through shifting to expressive vibrato.

Performance & exam preparation

Group rehearsals, stage performances and AMEB exam preparation when you're ready.

Loved by families across Australia

Real progress, real convenience — here's what parents tell us.

Kayla teaches all three of our children violin lessons weekly and has done so for more than a year. She is great with the kids (ages 7 to 14). She is not only talented and knowledgeable about music, but also passionate about the art form. She has been excellent about keeping them interested and excited about music and performance.
Renoo Menard · Happy mother
My violin teacher, John, is superb and very talented. He is very patient with his students and he cares. He specialises in violin lessons and tailors them to suit the needs of the students, which I actually consider incredible! You won't regret taking lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything parents and adult learners ask us most about private violin lessons. Still unsure? Email [email protected].

The best way to enquire is to fill in the enquiry form or email us at [email protected]. Include your suburb, the student’s age and their experience level so we can match you with the right tutor. Written enquiries are answered within 24 hours by Kayla, our tutor co-ordinator.

No. We come to your home, meaning you don’t have to fight traffic to get to after-school lessons.

Depending on location and teacher availability, lessons can be held on any day of the week and are taught around all suburbs of Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Perth, Hobart, Darwin and the Gold Coast.

Yes. Your first lesson is a free trial with no obligation to continue, and every new student receives a free beginner songbook valued at $22. We are so confident you will be happy that we also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on your first lesson.

We offer 45 minute, 60 minute and 90 minute lesson blocks. Your fee includes the private lesson and all associated learning materials and guides.

Our violin teachers understand that every student is an individual, with personal musical needs and goals. Your teacher will ask about your favourite type of music and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child. The fundamentals of music theory, violin technique and performance are covered in every lesson. We love beginners, so even if you don’t know where to begin, we can help!

Children as young as five can begin learning to play the violin and basic music theory. Lessons for students under six focus on the fundamentals of music, which can be built upon as they grow. We are very experienced in tutoring young children who are complete beginners, and have all the patience and personality needed to engage your child.

Absolutely not! There is no right age to begin learning a musical instrument, and the best time to start is now. We specialise in violin lessons for adults and can teach you your favourite songs, how to read music, theory, or just about anything you’d like to learn.

Our teachers are qualified to give lessons in all styles, whether it is popular, contemporary, classical, jazz or musical theatre. We combine the important fundamentals with the music YOU want to play, and encourage students to explore all genres.

Our tutors are studying music at Australian universities and are highly experienced in teaching students of all ages and skill levels. Being a musician doesn’t automatically make you a teacher, so we search for those who are best qualified to mentor our students. Every tutor has undertaken a government-certified Working With Children check, and they are friendly and patient so students feel comfortable learning at their own pace.

There is no set answer. With regular practice, a basic level of violin can be accomplished in a few months. Most of our students take lessons on a long-term basis because they want to keep improving and they find the lessons enjoyable.

Yes. Even without a musical background you can ask the teacher for advice on how to help your child practise. Simply monitoring that they do their exercises a certain number of times per day helps the student progress, and parents are welcome to sit in on lessons.

Yes. Many of our tutors specialise in AMEB violin exam preparation, covering technique, sight-reading, performance skills and managing exam nerves.

Our violin teachers are eager for new students. Find a violin teacher to come to your home within a week of enquiring, with most students matched within 24 hours.

Local teachers for private violin lessons in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide & Perth

Violin Lessons Australia is the right place for you especially if you are interested in private violin classes or lessons with certified violin teachers who come to your home.

Either way, violin lessons can speed up your progress, make practice more enjoyable, and improve your chances of gaining any real success on the violin. The modest cost of 1 on 1 violin lessons far outweighs the long-term rewards.

What your violin teacher will cover

In addition to the physical aspect of learning to play the violin, your teacher will introduce you to the basics of music theory, such as chords, chord inversion and note counting. You will also learn exercises to facilitate and improve your technique more quickly.

In short, your violin teacher can offer techniques and insights that will accelerate your progress in a way that likely will not happen if you teach yourself.

Beginner violin lessons

The fundamentals of music theory, violin technique and performance are covered in every lesson. We encourage our students to play a range of musical styles as they progress, to open their minds and keep them interested.

Intermediate to advanced violin lessons

We keep a close eye on our students' development, and as soon as we think they are able, we bump them up to the next level and challenge them with more advanced techniques. The more students are immersed in the ins-and-outs of both technique and theory, the better for their musical development. At this stage, in addition to private lessons and group rehearsals, we typically get our students into live performances on stage.

The best age to start violin lessons

Lessons for young learners (students under 6) focus on the fundamentals of music, which can be built upon as they grow. For more mature students learning for the first time, the focus will be on the styles you are interested in — whether it is jazz, popular music or classical, we want to see all our students grow into talented performers.

Finding a violin teacher made easy

Our violin teachers are eager for new students. Find a violin teacher to come to your home within a week of enquiring. All beginner students also receive a free beginner songbook, valued at $22, to get you on your learning journey quicker than you could imagine.
