1-on-1 LIVE lessons / year
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.
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!
"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.

That is correct, it is hard to do it alone! (and you don't have to...ever again).
I have seen many bad habits growing on violinists who try to follow the numerous free vids on Youtube.
I can safely say, the majority won't make it past "Mary Had A Little Lamb".
Bad habits will limit your progress completely if you don't correct them.
Correcting bad habits afterwards can be very challenging, it is better to avoid them.
That is the reason I started with the Live 1-on-1 online lessons.
Bad habits will never get a chance if someone is looking at your progress every week.
Xander gets his pupils to improve their playing rapidly, in a fun and motivating way.
My son loves it.
Thank you for not only teaching me the violin but also making the experience enjoyable with your cheerful and encouraging demeanor.
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!
You are never too old !!
The oldest student (as far as I know) is 70 and just started a few years ago.
Of course you should not expect to become a world class soloist, but that is not the point.
Having fun in what you do makes the level you are at completely unimportant.
Progress may be a little slower compared to children, but the fun you get out of it is what it’s all about, priceless!
And yes, feel free to challenge yourself, it is possible endlessly!
Motivation problems are everywhere.
If a method does not offer variety, it can quickly become boring and the student drops out.
At Creative Violin you will immediately come across different music styles, such as Classical (of course), but also Jazz, Country, Bluegrass, Balkan, World music, Irish, Gypsy …
And, last but not least: you will learn to improvise on the violin, from the very first lesson !!
In addition, there are accompaniments for ALL songs and exercises, even the scales have accompaniments.
These are the Backing Tracks (BTs), not only piano accompaniments, but also orchestras, bands, gypsy orchestras, string quartets …
Variety, lots of variety. Great fun to do.
This can be done in 3 ways:
1- First of all there are the weekly LIVE classes online.
Depending on your plan you can either participate actively or watch the live lessons from an audience seat.
(You learn a LOT by looking at others!)
2- There is a Creative Violin Facebook group with over 3400 members.
This is intended for the students who can post their progress videos there.
This is where we will give you the feedback you need.
In the beginning I mainly pay attention to the posture (crucial for correct progress!), you will be sure that you are on the right track.
3- The 3rd way (if you want more privacy) is to send an email with your video to video@creativeviolin.com.
If the video is too large, it can also be sent to this address with WeTransfer (wetransfer.com). This service is free.
I will send you an email with your personal feedback.
If you really get stuck, I can invite you to come online 1 on 1.
In any case, you will never be studying alone from now on.
