The Fun Way to Learn!

Now it’s easy for kids ages 6 and up to learn how to play violin! An animated character named Val the Violin guides kids through lessons by New York City Ballet violinist Sabina Skalar. Games make learning fun, and kids will learn lots of songs that they can share with friends!

Animated Fingerboard

The animated fingerboard shows fingerings as the music plays so kids can easily follow along. Double-clicking on any note will also show them where to put their fingers.

Animated Finger Tracker

Finger Tracker listens to your child’s playing and shows them whether their fingers are in the right place on the fingerboard. A great tool for helping them learn and remember notes!

Automatic Tuner

Using either the computer’s built-in microphone or an external one, your child can get tuned up quickly and easily with the built-in interactive tuner. They can just line up the arrow with the right string and be in tune!

Full-motion videos

The lessons are easy to follow with our large-format videos, featuring split-screens and close-ups that guide kids through songs and playing techniques.

Interactive Games

Games help children learn notes and songs by reviewing what they learned in the lessons. By interacting with the playful characters and scenes, kids will have fun while learning music!

Metronome

Kids can set their own tempo and get audio and/or visual cues for staying on beat so they can play in time with the music.

Recorder

The digital recorder allows kids to play into the computer’s built-in microphone (or an external one), record their performance, and save it to the computer. This handy tool lets them listen to what they played and share it with their family and friends.
