It is a well-known fact: instrumentalists need to follow a rigorous training program, which requires passion and dedication. For example, to learn to play the violin, you will also have to go to a violin making workshop, so you can better understand the origins of this stringed musical instrument and to discover how a violin is made. Sometimes, this little detour in a violin shop can make it possible to readjust your violin strings, or to buy a violin quite simply. Stringers, founded by Maureen Stringer in Edinburgh, JP Guivier on Mortimer Street or Gareth Ballard at Ballard Violins are Londonian references: they can explain in detail how your violin was made, what is its history, and how to maximize its potential.
The best way to become a renowned musician is to take violin lessons. You will start by learning the basics: Vivaldi, Brahms, Prokofiev, Van Beethoven and Stravinsky will eventually reveal their secrets to you. You will also learn to play the violin, to know your strong hand (right hand or left hand), and develop your skills over time. When you're ready, you might even perform a violin concerto as a soloist, part of a group or with a conductor. The Philharmonic Orchestra is a unique Londonian experience.
Moreover, learning the violin in London will give you access to other opportunities, like getting to explore several types of violins. This is usually part of training, studying different violins such as the cello, alto violin, fiddle, Chinese violin ... It will also be important to learn how to tune your violin, without needing to go to a violin shop each time.
In London, you will find great advice on how to choose and buy your violin: which violin wood is best for you, what violin case or cello case you should buy, what beginner violin is the most utilized... In short, in a music store, you will find expert advice from professionals ready to explain the difference between a Stradivarius violin and a Del Gesu violin. FYI, the Kreutzer Stradivarius is the most expensive in the world: selling for no less than 1.5 million euros! You will be able to glean some information at Stringers in Lisson Grove, near Marylebone Station.
Depending on your musical and instrumental project, you will be able to narrow down the choices in London. But which violin lessons are the most suitable for you? Are there children's fiddle classes? How can you progress your technical skills and make your violin sing?
In London, we like to value those who excel in the violin, especially if it is a child prodigy or a talented virtuoso violinist. But before looking for a teacher to begin your violin journey, you will need to equip yourself with the necessary items to learn the violin. This starts, of course, with purchasing or renting a violin, but also includes some musical accessories, such as: a metronome, a tuner, violin strings, violin music, wax and a shoulder strap.
To find the ideal violin teacher, there are several ways to do so: check out the various school and associations specialized in music and the stringed instruments, especially the violin. Teachers will explain the courses offered and the requirements to being accepted. Some schools even have an end-of-the-year music festival where you are given the chance to perform in front of an audience.
But if this type of class doesn't suit you, and you prefer to have one-on-one private violin lessons, you'll need to know where to look for the right professional. A music teacher conveys their knowledge as well as their passion: choosing a good teacher is essential!
Summer courses, annual internships, private lessons: at Superprof, we know that every musical project is different, to which our private teachers willingly tailor their lessons! Our tutors can offer both an introduction to the double bass or a violin technical course, where you will learn about tablature and musical notation.
Do you need a refresher on what is a soundboard? Superprof is here for that. Want to know how to tune a violin on your own? Our teachers can show you. How does a sonnet or quartet work? You have opened the right website!
Many of our teachers have also studied or taught in London. They have graduated from a music school, have opened a violin association, or are themselves a bassist or violinist. D major and C minor, they know what that means! They can also teach you how to play in a chamber orchestra, or help you to advance your skills into possibly becoming known on an international stage.
In London alone, hundreds of teachers are ready to offer their help, at home or at a distance. Several types of courses are offered: classical music lessons, technical classes, practical classes, singing lessons... It's up to you to choose and define your goals with this teacher. What is your dream? Is it to become the next Wolfgang? Develop your vibrato? Be listed among the great musicians of your time?
It's true that whether at home or out and about in London, everything is conducive to learning the violin. Nothing is better than going to the banks of the Thames to delight your audience, or going to the British Museum to proclaim your love of this beautiful instrument, or to show your national pride by playing the violin near Buckingham Palace.
Your specialized violin teacher will be keen to take you wherever you want. So, are you ready to get started on your violin lessons in London?
