Zlata and her violin teaching partners are the best!
Zlata and her violin teaching partners are the best. I’ve played guitar and piano since I was a child and decided to self-teach violin in my retirement years. I first started with her free beginner lessons and progressed to purchasing her Bow Like A Pro course. I
Her courses are the next best thing to an in-person teacher, and the best part is you can repeat them as much as you like. I highly recommend Zlata’s Violin Lounge. I feel,Ike I know her although we’ve never met.
Excellent supplement to private in-person study.
After watching Zlata's free offerings on YouTube for about a year to be sure they were right for me as an adult beginner, I purchased Bow Like a Pro and the Paganini course. The lessons are extremely thorough, broken down superbly. The video-based curriculum is a stellar companion to my in-person lessons which focus on the Suzuki method. So great to experience highly skilled instructors with an online demeanor for adults.
Absolutely wonderful 5 star learning experience
Absolutely wonderful, clear and high quality instruction that is easy to follow and engaging. I highly recommend all of Zlata's courses. And as I did, should you enquire about courses, Zlata is warm, friendly, professional and approachable with such a wealth of expertise. I felt very valued as a customer. A teacher I can really relate to.
It has been one year since I started…
It has been one year since I started with Zlata at Violin Lounge at a point where I did not know where to start. It was good that I was able to do it from home while I was still working. I amaze myself and my progress since then. So I am grateful to Zlata who gave me hope and guidance. My fingers surprisingly move to the right place and I am actually playing the violin as I had hoped.
Very thorough and guide you every step.
Very thorough and guide you every step. Easy to follow. It gives you all the information you need.
Great device to improve your playing!
I started with free material and then after I have bought several courses. I like the systematic approach and many exercises involved in the material.
The course on mastering the bow was…
The course on mastering the bow was recommended by the concertmaster of my orchestra. I embraced the videos eagerly an use them on top of my regular lessons. It’s a great collection of themes, very well explained and can be taken step by step on your personal need. If I need support on the ricochet I find it there and it boosts my sound!
Violin Lounge is A Standout
I have been watching, playing along with, and learning from Zlata's excellent videos for many years now. They are clearly presented, with charm and encouragement. especially to beginners. There are many violin tutors on line - Zlata is absolutely top-tier. (Note Trust Pilot requires a single date below; my experience has been over years)
Great lessons
I'm really enjoying these lessons. I turned to them when my violin instructor moved from my area and I decided to try online. I think I started sounding better within a few of these lessons!
great explanations inspiring videos
Zlata's explanations are simply great : she breaks things down so you can understand complicated structures or fingerings easily. I started playing the violin with her free beginner's guide and though I have a in person teacher now I like to go back to her videos for more explanations on music, technics or to find inspirations for other pieces to play.
Zlata has been a source of…
Zlata has been a source of encouragement and although now I am with a Local Music Centre has given me at 86 yrs old a purpose
to continue active playing .
Thank you Zlata
Brilliant and insightful violin resources
I don't know what I would have done without Zlata's well thought out and excellent resources. They have been super useful in my music teaching journey. I can never thank her enough.
Excellent for building skill
Zlata has given me technique to work on well beyond what I was accomplishing locally. Even though I am an older learner I have enjoyed violin for many years and it is nice to go beyond the basics.
A great way to learn and improve violin playing
I find the instruction by Zlata very easy to follow and just the right amount of time for each topic for me in Bow like a Pro. It is useful to have the practice plan.
Great online violin course
I've been a member of this online violin course for about a year or so. It it well designed, with progressive exercises and personal feedback when you submit a video of your playing. The nice thing about online learning is that you can progress at your own pace as your busy life allows. Of course, it is extremely useful to have an in-person teacher standing at your side for a close-up view of your posture and hand motions. But sometimes that is impossible, in which case an online course like this is valuable. The instructor's expertise is obvious, and her feedback is excellent.
Amazing amount of effort and attention…
Amazing amount of effort and attention to nuance in the videos, and even the summary compilation of the Carbon Fiber bow's "Ultimate Guide", I only have oodles of gratitude for Violin Lounge in helping me end my quest for *the* CF bow. Looking forward to all of the available programs et al on the revamped site!
Violin Lounge is helping me learning Bach
Violin Lounge is helping me learning Bach's pieces for solo violin that I think I would need years to reach the right level to learn. The website is easy to use. The blog also varies in topics and fills with helpful information.
Violin Lounge got me off to a good start
As an older adult beginner wanting to learn how to play fiddle, with very limited time and resources to devote to the hobby, I found Zlata's Violin Lounge course videos extremely helpful. They were easy to follow and understand, very affordable, and very entertaining and fun too. I learned notes, scales and vibrato, better posture for position play, and double stops. I found that I learn more easily from her video instructions than I do through expensive private lessons locally, because I can watch the videos whenever I want, as often as I need, and entirely at my own pace. Even though I play fiddle music and not classical violin pieces, I have found that the playing technique is very similar, and I can always improve my fiddle playing by going back to Violin Lounge lessons. Thank you Zlata!
Excellent content, excellent teacher
Excellent content. Zlata has spent so many hours creating videos, passing on her knowledge and experience playing the instrument - and often times for free!
I started with her free course - still going through it - and ended up acquiring a few others to try also some of more advanced techniques.
Excellent teacher, excellent material for adult beginners & intermediate students.
A place to relax and learn
I have watched Zalata's Violin Lounge for a number of years with interest and enjoyment. The free content has been filled with reviews of bows and discussions about violin technique and other relevant information of interest to any level of player. The Violin Lounge is worth a read, and I am looking forward to the undated version.
