Student Reviews

"We took the online violin course and really recommend it. My daughter played the violin with her teacher in her school and I couldn't see how she should play. But I know her position is not correct. For me I don’t know how to play the violin so I have tried to find another teacher outside school. When I saw the TrebleMaker online course shows how to teach kids posture, I enrolled. Through the lessons, my daughter can hold the violin correctly. She can now hold it for 2mins. That’s a great improvement for her."
