Free violin lessons

Pro-Am Strings webinars:
free violin lessons online

Our free online live violin and viola lessons, called webinars, are open to anyone interested in getting better at playing the violin or viola. Follow our free violin lessons online, from the comfort of your own home. Class attendees – all ages and all abilities – come from all over the world. You can join us too. Welcome!

Join Us

You can just come and listen, or join in with your instrument and ask questions – it’s up to you. Sessions generally last for about half an hour and usually there is a question and answer session at the end.

Webinars are held on a regular basis. We tend to alternate subjects suitable for beginners and those for more advanced players. That’s a lot of violin for free.

All free live online classes will be held in the “Fans of Pro-Am Strings” Facebook group. In order to attend the classes, you will need to subscribe to the group.

Thanks Henriette: very thought provoking! Anna

I wish to thank you for providing both your time and expertise in hosting the webinar on vibrato. Well worth the time. Ray

Thanks for a great webinar. Alison

Gregor’s class was deeply inspiring and philosophically rich. It was great to listen to a top performer discussing the big ideas behind music and its collaborative performance. He drew continually on his learning from experienced composers, teachers and professors, frequently referencing repertoire for examples. I counted it a massive privilege to be able to come into contact with a person so compellingly involved in the quartet genre. Kevin

Gregor’s Webinar on Chamber Music brought a whole new dimension to playing. His webinar was thought provoking, prompting the musician to think in a different way about the music we play. Very memorable. Thank  you! Sonia
