I got dizzy searching the internet and YouTube for violin lessons.
When I found Creative Violin I felt I was in heaven!
Creative Violin is a straight forward website where you will find everything about violin lessons.
All the video’s make it feel I have a teacher standing next to me all the time when I study.
I even started improvising in the first lessons!

I couldn’t read music, was totally new to the violin.
Xander taught me (and still does) with much patience, understanding and much encouragement.
Lessons are at home or via Skype.
Not only the playing techniques, but specially the fun in playing the violin are important.
Xander (Creative Violin) is THE violin teacher to achieve those results.

I follow the lessons for a while now.
For me the great benefit is that I can study when I want.
Another benefit is that because it is an online course I can watch parts that I need to practice more over and over again.
The loop function (AB Looper) makes it possible that you can rehearse a certain part as many times you need.
I went from scratching the violin to actually playing it.
And I am very happy.
Thank you Xander for setting up this course.

Mr. Nichting, Creative Violin, is covering a lot of necessary techniques that I haven’t seen in other tutorials or books.
Other instructors seem to just hope we’ll figure out these points by trial and error (for example, when to switch from upper arm to elbow motion when bowing).
In a word, he’s thorough!

Steven Dunn, owner of Facebook group Violin Players *Beginners*

I’ve been playing violin for about a year and half while being all self taught.
I heard about Creative Violin through a Facebook group I frequent and decided to give it a try.
The lessons are well put together and in an easy to understand, logical order.
Xander is a friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough instructor.
Not only are the lessons well developed, but he also puts on free seminars to help grasp the basic and more advanced concepts.
Highly recommended!

Xander is a fantastic teacher ! He gets his pupils to improve their playing rapidly, in a fun and motivating way.
His method, Creative Violin, takes us through different musical styles from classical to country music, trying out well-known musicals, and learning how to improvise along the way.
Thanks to the backing tracks, you not only learn to play in rhythm, together with an orchestra, but can even give a concert for your family and friends!
My 7-years old son Timo is a huge fan.
I definitely recommend this site!

My daughter, Anna, is 8 years old.
She started to play the violin in September.
It’s amazing to see what she can play already thanks to the Creative Violin method!
It’s a constructive method with improvisations, background music and different styles of music.
The accompanying music stimulates to play the violin.
Xander is a great teacher!
He knows how to motivate my daughter!

This course is focused, highly motivating and has increased my skill level considerably in a very short time.
The interactions with the teacher in the improvisation exercises gives one a real sense of ownership of the instrument (not to mention the thrill of playing along with another musician right from lesson one!)
The ability to ask questions during live webinars is also invaluable.
This is by far the most engaging online course and is just as immersive as learning with a teacher in person.
Xander’s enthusiasm is absolutely infectious.
Thank you for this fantastic resource.
