Learning with Giuseppe has changed my life at 53. I love my weekly violin lessons!
At 53, I never imagined I could seriously start learning the violin. I loved the sound but felt intimidated and overwhelmed after trying random online tutorials with no real progress. I’ve been learning with Giuseppe for several years, and from the very beginning he guided me step by step, explaining not just how to play, but why. His clear teaching, detailed personal feedback, and strong focus on musical expression made learning both effective and enjoyable

Some of the past student reviews
Clear lessons and easy to follow, learning with Giuseppe helped me improve faster than I would have expected. His teaching style is encouraging and keeps me motivated, I started lessons with Giuseppe after bringing my son to lessons at his house and started learning myself.. We have had to change suburb and have never met anyone as personable and caring, so much so that we are online nowadays and looking forward to restarting in person asap!

Giuseppe’s teaching style is exactly what I need. Each lesson is clear and easy to follow and I feel more confident and inspired to keep improving. He gives me the energy to keep going and I have had several teachers before him, and I cannot even start to mention the huge difference. Giuseppe was recommended to me by Matt my best friend and since then I have also held three exams with results i was initially just dreaming of. It is amazing how far I have come but I have never thought much about it before writing this testimonial. It had always been a dream to start for me, and no longer is as I can play to quite a good level nowdays.

Giuseppe explains things in a way that really works, each lesson makes learning feel clear and achievable, he is very patient also very kind and understanding. He supplements additional material as necessary, gives examples, it is all real feedback and not just praise for the sake of it, it is actually quite the opposite and as I am a very ‘matter of fact’ person, I enjoy his direct approach. I recommend Giuseppe as I have never found a better teacher in having to change county, state and suburbs over the years. I miss our lessons in person and am considering if I can find the time, to restart online. Lucky is who can have in person lessons! Thoroughly recommend Giuseppe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should I be practicing?
Students have all kinds of schedules — some play daily, while others can only manage weekends. Practicing a little each day is far more effective than cramming hours into one session. The lessons are designed to fit into your life no matter how busy it is, though I definitely encourage you to practice as often as possible.
When do you add new digital library info, how frequently?
Currently there are over 250 videos of material. Almost every week the library is updated to maintain your violin practice engaging and rewarding with play-along tracks. There’s always something new to support your practice alongside your weekly one-on-one lessons.
From which country can I signup?
From anywhere in the world!
What style is mainly focused on?
Giuseppe focuses on building as solid technical core because mastering the fundamentals is the key to real progress, both in music and in life. Just like a strong foundation supports a lasting building, a robust technique empowers you to confidently explore just about any style. We enjoy playing pieces from classical, bluegrass, pop, film music, and gypsy genres, creating a rich and rewarding learning journey. You’ll be amazed once your core is strong.

How are lessons tailored to each student?
Every student is different, so lessons are adapted to your current level, goals and musical interests. Whether you are a complete beginner, returning to the violin after many years, or working towards advanced repertoire and exams, we focus on the technique and musical skills you need at each stage.
We work progressively from week to week, with clear guidance on what to practice between lessons. The aim is not simply to learn pieces, but to develop your technique, understanding and confidence so that you become an increasingly independent violinist.
What do I get access to as soon as I signup?
Giuseppe will contact to organise a mutually beneficial day/time to start the lessons. You will then start your violin lessons with Giuseppe personally via one-on-one video call and soon after, you will have access also to carefully organized video lessons, interactive sheet music and play-along tools.
Can I get a refund if I need to skip my lesson?
Please provide at least 48 hour notice if we need to rearrange a lesson to another day/time in order to move the credit towards another week. This allows enough time for both our schedules to re adapt and a sign of mutual respect for our allocated time. If you suddenly need to stop lessons, you will be able to restart your lessons at any time using the available credits within the year.
I’m a complete beginner are these lessons suitable for me?
Giuseppe’s carefully structured lessons guide you step-by-step from the basics to confident playing, you’ll receive personalized feedback from a caring professional conservatory qualified violin teacher to keep you on track
How are the weekly lessons held?
