Questions
How long should I practise the violin each day?
Twenty to forty minutes of focused work is enough for most adult learners. A little every day is better than two hours once a week. Avilo's daily session lasts 20, 30 or 40 minutes.
Can I learn the violin without a teacher?
You can work independently on intonation, rhythm and many aspects of technique. Avilo gives you feedback to guide that work. Occasional lessons add a teacher’s eye for posture, bow hold and tension.
