Violin lessons in Bogotá, at home and online

The violin is demanding and deeply expressive: it has no frets, so each note's pitch depends on your ear and precise finger placement, while the bow shapes its tone. Lessons start with relaxed posture and healthy bow technique before adding speed or repertoire. Your teacher guides you step by step, at home in Bogotá and the surrounding area or by video call.

What you'll learn in violin lessons

  • Posture of the body, pounding of the violin and seizing of the arch without tension.

  • Filling the instrument with clamps and microtuning and care for ropes, bridge and arch knitting.

When can you start?

From age 4

The violin is made in fractional sizes (1 / 16, 1 / 10, 1 / 8, 1 / 4, 1 / 2, 3 / 4), so children can start from very small: in suzuki-type approaches it's common to start about 4 years with a great deal of play and family accompaniment. The majority of children hold care and posture more easily, but the decisive thing is their interest and maturity (more about how old to start studying music). Adults can start at any age and enjoy the process a lot, even though at first they demand patience.

What do you need to start with?

  • A violin with the right size for his person with his touch and his teacher helps to measure his face before his success.
  • Arch, resin (also called a brea) and, if necessary, a pad or back to support the violin.
  • A tuner (a tuner app works too) and a music stand.
  • For virtual classes: A stable connection and a camera device with an arch arm and a left hand.

Why learn violin

  • He trains his ear with great precision, because every note depends on your listening.

  • It develops fine co-ordination and independence between two hands and they do quite different tasks.

  • It's an entrance door to orchestras, quartetes and groupings of Colombian Andean music.

  • What you learn will be useful if later you are attracted to a more serious record, as the viola Or cello.

Questions about violin lessons

Can you learn violin in virtual classes?

The teacher needs to have a good look at his posture and his bow, so it's important to place his camera and at a distance that looks at his body from his waist. With very young children, it's better to start at home or an adult with his or her virtual class.

Why does the violin sound so weird at first?

Because a good sound depends on the weight, velocity and contact point of the arch, and coordinate these three things takes time. The first screams are a regular part of the process, and they are a sign of lack of talent. To practice air ropes and slow arch exercises is the basis for polishing the sound.

What size of violin does my child need?

It depends on his arm's length, and not just his age. With his violin in place and his left arm spread, his child should be able to encircle his or her elbow with his or her fingers conveniently and his or her elbow slightly flexed. Your teacher can check his or her first class so that his or her instrument doesn't give him or her tensions.

How long do I have to practice violin at home?

More than quantity, regularity matters: short sessions about every day give more than a long weekend. For a beginner, between 15 and 30 minutes focused are a good starting point, and young children can start with less. Find ideas at how to practice music at home.
