The word violin came to Germany from Italy in the 17th century and actually means „small viola“, i.e. small viola. The word violin, on the other hand, originally referred to the entire genre of string instruments and was more of a joking substitute for the term violin. It is now used much more frequently in colloquial language and only refers to the one instrument. The violin not only plays first violin in the orchestra, but of course also second. There is countless literature for chamber music at all levels of difficulty on the violin. Devilish violinists like Paganini became immortal legends, and today pop idols like David Garrett and Lindsey Stirling emulate him.

Frequently asked questions
-
Do you offer violin lessons for children?
Naturally! Young violinists are very welcome here! Children and young people learn intuitively and playfully. We utilise this joy of experimentation and discovery when we discover the violin together. From the very first lesson, we experiment with the different sounds that can be produced on the violin: Strumming, plucking, tapping. It's fun and motivating.
Our professional Violin teachers are all trained in music education and incorporate technique and theory into the lessons in a child-orientated and didactically sensible way. Our teachers will also be happy to advise you on choosing the right instrument for your child's height.
You can start right away if your child has already decided in favour of the violin. If your child is not quite sure yet, you are welcome to arrange a free Trial lesson or register your child for the Instrument carousel to.
-
Are there violin lessons for adults?
Did you learn to play the violin as a child and then stop at some point? But you can't quite shake the longing for the delicate sounds? Then it's high time you took up violin lessons again! Our Teachers are based on your previous knowledge and your musical wishes.
If, for professional or family reasons, you would prefer to come to lessons at longer intervals rather than weekly, we also have a solution for this: Our Prepaid cards. Talk to your violin teacher or ask our friendly colleagues in the office for more information.
We also offer lessons online so that you can pursue your hobby from the comfort of your own home.
-
Can I learn to play the violin with you as a beginner?
Getting started on the violin requires a little patience, as the position is unfamiliar and the notes don't always sound clean straight away. But even with the initial plucking of the strings, great melodies can be developed. Once you have developed a certain confidence with the new instrument, using the bow is no longer too difficult.
We pay attention to correct body and bow posture and a loose left hand, without you losing the joy of playing. With us, you'll be making music from the very first lesson!
-
Do you also teach advanced students?
Have you played the violin in the past and would like to refresh and expand your existing knowledge? Then you've come to the right place! The violin lessons are individually tailored to your previous knowledge and musical goals by our experienced teachers.
Would you like to improve your performance and prepare specifically for an exam, audition or concert? We offer you professional teachers who will help you make targeted progress. -
