Why Take In-Person Lessons?
While online violin lessons offer many of their own benefits, there is nothing quite like in-person tutelage to help students truly advance their violin skills. Violin is a highly physical instrument. Some of the first things that every beginner must learn are the proper finger technique, instrument position, arm positions, and posture. As students advance, maintaining these positionings is essential to truly master the instrument. In-person lessons allow me to physically correct any issues that may arise and ensure that they don’t become habits.
In-studio lessons also allow for significantly greater sound quality than online lessons. My violin studios in Malibu and Rancho Santa Fe are set up for optimal listening so that both student and teacher are able to hear the subtleties of each other’s performance. Picking up on nuances and variations is another essential skill for mastering the violin, and one that is simply more difficult when done via virtual learning.
