A violin course
From zero to Mozart.
Learning to read and play the violin, properly — from Ode to Joy to the first page of Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3. A 193-page PDF course, rebuilt as something calm and readable that you can actually use with the instrument in your hands.
Start from the beginningsee the whole path
The path
- 0SetupThe instrument, the hold, tuning, your first open string.
- 1First position & the staffEvery note on every string, and how to read it off the page.
- 2RhythmWhen and how long — the pulse before the instrument.
- 3Score symbolsDynamics, articulation, ornaments, repeats — everything else on the page.
- 4Scales & musicianshipKeys, major and minor, intervals — why the notes are arranged as they are.
- 5The bowTone, and the core strokes — détaché, legato, martelé, and outward.
Foundation
- 6Beyond first positionShifting, positions two to seven, double stops.
- 7Vibrato & expressionWhen you're ready — and phrasing, the thing it all serves.
- 8Sight-reading & ear trainingReading fluently, and building the ear from the ground up.
Intermediate
- 9The repertoire journeyA hundred tunes, then the giants, then Mozart's Third.
Then the deep study: Mozart’s Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, K.216 — read the whole score before you can play the whole score.
How it works
- One idea per screen. Short enough to read from a music stand without scrolling.
- Your hands stay on the violin. The only thing you press mid-practice is one play button.
- Nothing gates you. No streaks, no locked lessons, no quiz to pass. You set the pace.
- Taught in a real lineage. Leopold Mozart’s Violinschule, the French school, Auer, Flesch, Galamian, Suzuki — the way the players you admire actually learned.
