Why Online Violin Lessons Work (and How to Get Started)

Written By Chuck Junkin

The Power of Learning Music from Home


Learning violin online is no longer a temporary alternative — it’s a proven, highly effective way to develop real technique, musicality, and confidence.

At Chez Vous Music Studio, students in France, the U.S., and around the world take live, personalized lessons in violin, viola, cello, and piano — all from the comfort of their own homes.

With today’s technology, you can connect directly with a professional teacher, receive instant feedback, and enjoy a fully interactive learning experience.



“My students quickly forget they’re online — what matters most is the connection, the music, and the joy of learning.”

— Charles Junkin, Founder & Instructor


Why Online Lessons Work So Well

1. Flexible and Accessible

Online lessons eliminate commute time and allow you to learn from anywhere. Whether you live in Paris, Lyon, or Troyes — or abroad — all you need is your instrument and a stable internet connection.

2. Personalized Feedback in Real Time

Using high-quality video and sound tools, we can correct posture, bow angle, tone, and rhythm just like in person. Lessons are recorded (if you wish) for review between sessions.

3. A Comfortable Environment

Many students play more freely at home. There’s less pressure, and progress often accelerates once students can practice in their own familiar space.

4. Equal Results for Beginners and Advanced Players

From your first open strings to preparing for conservatory or orchestra auditions, online lessons can meet every level — because every session is one-on-one.

How to Get Started with Online Violin Lessons


Step 1 – Prepare Your Setup

You’ll need:

  • A laptop, tablet, or smartphone with camera

  • Stable Wi-Fi connection

  • A quiet, well-lit space

  • Your violin, bow, and music stand

Step 2 – Book a Free Consultation

Your first meeting is a 15–20 minute video call where we discuss your goals, skill level, and scheduling options. You’ll learn how online lessons work and receive a personalized practice plan.

Step 3 – Begin Your Lessons

After your first class, you’ll receive:

  • A custom digital practice chart

  • Listening assignments (e.g., Perlman, Suzuki Book 1)

  • Optional recordings for guided review

Step 4 – Track Your Progress

All students receive quarterly evaluations aligned with the National Core Arts Standards (Music, 2014) — perfect for homeschool documentation or personal growth tracking.
