Learn Violin as an Adult in 5 Minutes a Day
Play the music you actually love with a step-by-step online violin course built for busy adults who don’t have hours to practice.
Helping adults start violin without Twinkle Twinkle since 2016.
“I can’t believe I’m already playing Last of the Mohicans!”
Started from zero. Learned as an adult. Made real progress with short daily lessons.
“Before this program, I had never played violin or read sheet music. I didn’t think it would be worth trying at this point in my life.
I am a single mother working full time, so when I first started I literally only did Jenny’s 5-minute videos. As time went on I started to feel I was actually accomplishing things, so I got excited to practice up to 20 minutes per day.
I can’t believe I’m already playing Last of the Mohicans. I played it for my mom and she couldn’t believe it either. I was so happy I thought I could cry.”
— Lisa
You know deep down that you’re meant to play an instrument, so what’s stopping you?
“Wasn’t given the chance to learn when I was a kid.”
“Progress is slow – I’ll always feel behind.”
“I love practicing but for some reason I forget that when it’s time to practice. Plus most days are WAY too busy.”
“I want to branch out from classical and have some more fun but I don’t know where to start.“
Many people get stuck and give up because the violin learning system has been tailored to children for over 300 years.
It’s never too late. I know because I started as an adult too.
Hi, I’m Jenny.
Learning violin as an adult can be surprisingly frustrating.
If you’re like me and many of my students, someone may have told you that you were “not talented” or “too old” to bother trying.
I know that feeling because I lived it.
I didn’t grow up taking violin lessons, and I didn’t have endless time or perfect training. What I did have was the desire to play real music, along with no idea how to practice so I’d actually start sounding better.
I got absolutely obsessed with figuring it out. I put thousands of miles on my old Subaru to find teachers who knew how to help an adult learner, and little by little, I figured out the small handful of things that made the biggest difference. That approach took me from awkward and scratchy to playing professionally, recording albums, and eventually teaching adults full-time.
For over a decade I’ve used these same principles to help hundreds of adults learn to play.
That means you get to skip the endless kiddie songs, overwhelm, and wasted practice time.
Introducing…
Relieve Stress
Don’t worry about what to practice each day. Relaxing 5 minute video lessons will build your skill fast. One happy student said his violin practice replaced his evening cocktail!
Stay Motivated
Motivation is a battle for EVERYONE, no joke! Here with me, all you have to do is wonder how I might embarrass myself in the next 5 minute video. It’s now MY job to get you curious to pick up your violin each day with fun ornaments, tricks to make tunes come together quickly, new music and my collection of goofy themed hats.
Save Time
There’s a myth that adults are doomed to learn more slowly than kids. The truth is it only seems that way because we are contantly trying to do too much at once. Each day I’ll give you one small bite so you can totally absorb it. Don’t waste precious time on bad technique or injuries. Getting good happens four times faster when you practice the right stuff in small bites.

What Makes Learning With Jenny SO Different?
My video students have been able to learn within 7 months what it used to take me 2 years to teach someone via Skype lessons.
(I was as stunned as they were when they started playing Last of the Mohicans and doing vibrato within 7 months!)
Adults learn faster in small fun bites!
This program alternates fundamentals and fun songs back and forth continually. This way you won’t get bored, but you’ll also always keep practicing the skills you need to be building to actually sound good.
Private lessons can be difficult to schedule and more importantly…
It’s hard to know what to practice through the whole long week in between lessons! An hour lesson tends to cover at least 20 things all of which are forgotten the next day when life sweeps in. We’ve all experienced that as adults.
YouTube is all over the place, like trying to drink from a firehose.
YouTube is a terrible place to learn the basics!
Once you know the basics and like your sound, it’s a great place to learn extra tunes and styles if you have the time to sift through the endless stream of videos.
If you already know you like my style, you can save a lot of time just following along with the program I’ve already focused and planned out for you.
I didn’t learn as a kid, so I know how it feels to wonder if you have what it takes. Is this even possible? Am I wasting precious time for nothing?
I know how frustrating it is to feel behind, and how annoying it is that most teaching is designed for kids. I personally could have jumped out the window in a fit of Twinkle-Star-Maddness when I finally buckled down went through the whole Suzuki 1 Book. It made me better, but other than that I didn’t really enjoy it. That’s why I’ll never make you play Twinkle, and found other ways to get you all the skills you need.
Don’t believe the discouraging messages that it’s impossible to learn once you’re a certain age.
The first teacher I tried to sign up with told me, “You’re a little old for this, I thought this would be for your child.”
It’s easy to get stuck feeling like it is impossible to learn as an adult when you’ve heard these things.
My organized program teaches you what to practice and also WHY so that:
- Practice becomes a stress reliever you can actually enjoy
- Your sound improves so you enjoy practice even more
- You can work on advanced techniques and tunes in bites so you stay interested AND don’t form bad habits
- You become your own best teacher
The daily bite sized format really helps adults for two main reasons:
- Small bites allow the brain to make more progress in less time
- It’s so much easier to practice on a busy day when at least you don’t have to think about what to practice

I wasn’t making much headway in learning how to play the fiddle. Other teachers would have me perform the sheet music without learning what I had needed to know, like how to hold the bow or fiddle properly. I chose to work with Jenny because she seemed to be interested in revealing the specific details and the proper techniques of playing the fiddle. And I was right!

I say the best laid plans of mice and hot violinists often go awry because I have a lot going on with family, church, and work. What I like the most is I always have the videos to fall back on. I like that I can work on vibrato, double stops, and shifting within the first couple years.

Don’t just take it from me:
My playing was rough. I didn’t know where to start, how to keep going or what I was doing wrong. Jenny’s program was perfect for me. I was a little apprehensive on the cost but I took the risk and it was worth it. I mean, I really play music, like never before!

FAQ
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. The program starts from the fundamentals and guides you step-by-step through posture, tone production, and first songs. It’s also ideal for adults returning after years away who want a clear and interesting path forward.
Is this designed specifically for adults?
Yes. Jenny’s Daily Lessons was built for adult learners – not children. The pacing, song selection, explanations, and structure respect adult autonomy and real-life schedules.
How much time do I need each day?
The core structure is built around focused 5-minute sessions. Many students want to practice longer once they start to see progress, but even short, consistent sessions lead to steady progress. The goal is sustainability, not burnout.
How is this different from private lessons?
Private lessons typically meet once per week and depend on scheduling and memory between sessions. This program provides clear daily guidance so you always know exactly what to practice. You move forward every day, at your own pace, without long-term contracts.
What’s the difference between Core and Personal?
Core includes the full structured training program, visual resources, community access, and monthly practice focus.
Personal includes everything in Core, plus weekly personalized video feedback and a targeted practice plan based on your playing.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. There are no contracts. You can cancel your membership at any time with a simple email. No hassle, no questions asked.
What equipment do I need?
You’ll need a standard violin and bow in playable condition and basic accessories (rosin, shoulder rest). Violin buying advice and suggested supply list is included in the program.
No special technology or software is required beyond a device to watch the lessons.
How quickly will I see progress?
Most adult beginners start playing recognizable songs within the first few months. Progress depends on consistency, but the structure is designed to help you build real skill steadily over time.
What if I fall behind or miss days?
The program is self-paced. You can move forward, revisit lessons, or slow down as needed. Feel free to take your time.
This is a good fit if:
You’re an adult who wants a clear structured path forward
You're willing to practice consistently (even 5 minutes, 5 times per week)
You value independence but still want guidance
You’re frustrated with scattered YouTube lessons
You want to play motivating music - not childrens exercises for months
You prefer learning at your own pace
This may not be a good fit if:
You want weekly in person lessons
You're looking for a fully classical training track
You're hoping to improve without committing to short, consistent practice sessions
You want immediate dramatic results without gradual skill building
