Unlock Your Vibrato
There are many many videos about how to perform vibrato And most of them lack one important and essential element They tell you how but they don t teach the whys and wherefores needed to understand the process During the Unlock Your Vibrato classes Julia explained not only the mechanics of vibrato but also the understanding of why it is done the way it is and the reasons for learning it in precise steps Julia s teaching style is unique for those reasons Not only in the vibrato classes but in every step of the violin learning process So when she offered the class I enrolled immediately Vibrato is not easy to learn like all things violin but it is doable I would encourage everybody to enroll in Julia s vibrato class It is fun and informative And who knows you may just come away with a beautiful vibrato that brings tears to the eyes of those in your audience

Perfect for beginners
The course is extremely well organised and flexible It allowed me to figure my own schedule and gave me information that I felt was relevant such as theory alongside the practical aspects of playing violin Within a month I was already practicing a real piece of music You have to put in the work of continuous practice but it s lade easy by the lessons and the comraderie of the student group

Best Vibrato course
This is the very best course I have come across that teaches how to play vibrato Having previously tried other avenues and decided it was impossible Julia s simple encouraging sessions have given me everything I need to develop this wonderful technique She is an amazing teacher

Excellent Program and Support
I put the violin down 44 years ago when I decided to go back to it I realized that muscle memory can only take you so far I live in a rural area and my schedule doesn t really loan itself to lesson times that require a four hour round trip drive so I looked at online options I tried YouTube videos and online tutorials but nothing clicked until I found Julia s Violin Academy It s the perfect combination of do-it-yourself and support system The lesson plans and demonstrations are excellent and the support is perfect in that you can access as much or as little as you need when you need it The online community is awesome motivating kind and inspiring I have nothing but praise for this excellent program I can t believe how much I have improved in a short amount of time

A fun and educational experience
I really enjoyed this course and have enjoyed Julia s teaching methods through her wonderful videos Once you are enrolled in one of Julia s courses you may go back and review and or go through the course at your own pace which I am looking forward to doing

Comfortable And Fun Place To Learn
I chose Julia s academy because it looked like it had more resources and possible interaction than others Of course I m not sure that is the case but I am very happy with it Also it looked less intimidating and I was a little nervous The instructors are friendly and the students are just ordinary people like me with many in my own age group You can participate in the many practice groups or not I didn t think I would but I have and it was comfortable and fun I love that I choose my own pace and have easy access for answers to my questions from instructors and from other students There is no pressure just support I m glad I chose JVA

This was a great choice for me it gives
This was a great choice for me it gives me a structured plan of action to become great as a beginner violinist In the past I got bored and not knowing which way to go I just stopped practicing if JVA would have been there back then I would be nearer my goal to be a VIOLIN BOSS The goal is still attainable though so I try hard to make up for lost time and now I have direction and expert guidance I m still very impatient but I ve learned it is useless to rush through the lessons So far this has been a great experience for me and I highly recommend JVA

As a senior and a beginner
As a senior and a beginner as I only started learning the violin in March I decided to bite the bullet and try one of these classes to learn Pacchabel Cannon in D Although it is going to be a steep learning curve as I am rather out of my depth I find that Julia s explanation of how to do things is very good and instructive with each part of the tune being broken into sections although certain things like how to do vibrato I did have to look up separately I know that it will take me a lot longer than the 6 days talked about but with the videos I know I will get there eventually
