From low to high, a violin is tuned G – D – A – E, each string a perfect fifth apart.

• G string: It sits closest to the chin and gives the violin its dark, mellow voice.
• D string: This string bridges the bass and treble registers.
• A string: It sits just below the highest string and is tuned to 440 Hz in standard pitch.
• E string: The thinnest and highest string, capable of brilliant, singing tones.

The interval between each pair of strings is a perfect fifth.

Knowing the open strings is essential before learning any scales or pieces.

Expect to pay approximately £60/h for an hour of violin teaching in Teddington.

This rate can change depending on several factors:

• The student's level (Grade 1–8 or diploma level)
• The tutor's background and credentials (conservatoire training, performance career, teaching diplomas)
• Session duration and how often you meet (30, 45 or 60 minutes)
• How lessons are delivered (face-to-face or via video call)

Online lessons can sometimes reduce costs while offering flexible scheduling.

The violin has a steep learning curve, but consistent practice brings steady progress.

• Fretless fingerboard: You rely on muscle memory and ear training rather than visual markers.
• Bowing technique: The angle, pressure and speed of the bow all affect tone quality.
• Posture and hold: Holding the violin under your chin while moving both hands independently feels unnatural at first.

With regular practice, most students play simple pieces within a few months.

The key is consistent, focused practice rather than long, irregular sessions.
