“Joining the academy was the best investment I have ever made”

I am fulfilling a lifelong dream at 57 years of age. Bought a violin and started watching video tutorials hoping to learn to play. It was overwhelming with so many different teachers, styles and methods I soon became extremely frustrated and disheartened.

Then I found Julia Termeer and her amazing academy. Her enthusiasm, encouragement, step by step tutorials, online meeting sessions, structured learning method and so much more, just cannot be found anywhere else. Joining the academy was the best investment I have ever made. My violin playing is advancing in leaps and bounds. It has also enabled me to meet fellow students of all ages from across the globe.

Julia Termeer is so dedicated and her personal tutoring via video feedback is really instructional and is better than having a ‘face-to-face’ tutor. Being able to learn at my own pace by following a structured lesson plan instead of bouncing around not knowing what to do next has been a life saver (or should I say violin saver) for me. I also particularly love the fact that all the lessons in the academy are available to all students regardless of which course you chose.

If you miss an online tutoring/meeting session, not to worry. Julia records them all and makes them available to all students at anytime. If you love learning at your own pace, are looking for a personal ‘online tutor’, want to meet aspiring violinist from across the globe or are simply looking for encouragement and great feedback, you will love Julia’s Violin Academy.

“This Academy has been life changing for me!”

I will be totally honest, I was very skeptical at first. I didn’t think trying to learn Violin like this online was really possible. I had so many questions!

“Is this legitimate?“

“Can I really learn like this?“

“Is the instructor REALLY going to be actively involved?“

“Is this really worth the money?”

The answers to my questions are all YES!

YES it is legitimate, YES I really can learn like this’ YES Julia is very active in the group and the community is outstanding! YES it really is worth the money!

We have video live classes, we meet up almost daily for Practice Sprints where we practice for an hour together, we are able to post to the Facebook group and get real feedback from peers and even Julia! There is so much more this Academy has to offer as well!

I highly recommend this Academy whether you are a brand new beginner like myself or a seasoned player on a higher level like some others in the group.

I am so happy I found Julia’s Violin Academy!

I can highly recommend this for anyone… I can highly recommend this for anyone who wants to learn the violin. I joined about a month ago & I can only say it’s one of the best things I done since I started playing back in 21. For everyone who wants to learn how to play the violin, Julia’s violin Academy is the right choice. You will learn all from the basic’s, and beginner level to the more advanced violin play.

I have enjoyed Julia's courses. They are well thought out and present the tasks in small achievable amounts. Using the study guide you can easily track your progress and where you are. Her weekly podcast to show the task is very helpful to get you started for the week.
I had not played the violin in 30 years and picked it back up in retirement. There are so many things to learn again and many for the first time; it has been fun. Even though I am retired between travel, the grandkids and illness, I can not always stay on schedule with the course. However, it is easy to pick-up where I left off or even go back through things again (unfortunately I have to do this a lot).

I’m so happy with this experience I’m so happy with this experience. I bought my Violin several years ago. Always wanted to learn how to play. I took some lessons for a few weeks but then work got in the way. I found this class. I’ve been receiving emails from this teacher for sometime and just trying to practice on my own, but I find this class to be a wonderful, amazing and helpful, engaging and enjoyable thank you so much for the opportunity to learn at my own pace.

Great place to learn the violin I joined Julia's Violin Academy in January 2024 and would highly recommend it to other adults wishing to learn the violin. The academy provides a well planned and structured format that guides you through each step of the journey. Each lesson is approached methodically breaking down techniques to complete each lesson. Additionally, there are weekly challenges to expand your horizons, as well as weekly Zoom practices and monthly recitals. The instructors are outstanding and very responsive to lessons submitted for feedback. The academy is supportive and non judgmental, creating an environment for everyone to flourish to their fullest potential. I recently attended a week-long "Waltzing Through Shostakovich Master Class", which offered instruction for beginner and intermediate level students. The course outlined the actions required by the student for each day of the course concluding with a Zoom live practice to bring it all together. I have made great progress since January and plan to continue my journey with Julia's Violin Academy.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I am an absolute beginner - is the Academy right for me?

Absolutely – the Academy covers every stage of learning the violin – from the very start where you just got a violin. In fact now is the perfect time for you to join the Academy; as not only do we have training that will take you through every step, but you’ll also be able to get feedback and advice from Julia and your fellow students too, to help you through your journey.

How often do you release new lessons?

Every month a new full course is added to our Learning System. I also constantly release add-ons such as recordings of masterclasses on specific topics, sheet music and play-alongs. Also, each month there will be many new live events, such as feedback sessions, live classes & practice meet-ups.

How much daily practice do you expect from me?

Some of our members practice as much as 3 hours a day and others are just able to practice on weekends. Our Learning System is accessible 24/7 and that you can move through as slowly or as quickly as you want to. You can join the additional group classes and feedback sessions with Julia whenever you want, but never have to. The flexibility of the program makes it so that you easily fit your lessons into your weekly schedule.

How many live events do you run each week?

It depends on the week, however most weeks we run live classes, feedback sessions & practice sessions 4-5 times a week. You can participate to these events as little or as often as you like! Our live events are a great way to connect with your peers, ask for direct feedback from Julia and to get motivated to practice – after all, it’s much more fun to practice together than on your own!

Any contracts or commitments?

Nope. You can cancel your account anytime – for any reason. If you cancel before the end of the billing period, you’ll retain access until that period is over.

What time do the group classes take place?

Since most of our members are based in the US and Europe, our group classes take place on times that are most suitable for these time zones. Our classes normally take place between 16:00 and 20:00 GMT+1 on weekends.
However, we make a recording available after each group class, so if you can’t participate live you can still re-watch the lesson afterwards.

Will I get personal access to Julia?

Yes. Julia is very active in our community and answers all questions personally. You will be able to join bi-monthly live classes where you can directly talk with Julia.

Can I access the Academy on iPad / iPhone / Android / ….?

Yes. You can access all lesson materials 24/7 across all devices.

Do the private feedback sessions cost extra?

No, this is all included in your membership of the Academy. You’ll get individual feedback on your playing videos and access to all live classes with Julia at no extra cost.

What is available to me as soon as I sign up?

You’ll be able to jump into our Learning System which is a fundamental learning path that guides you through everything you need to learn to play the violin beautifully. Included in our learning system are: explanation videos, play-alongs, workbooks, practice plans, worksheets and everything else you need to learn. You’ll also be able to send your videos to Julia to get individual feedback and practice advice and join our weekly-ish group classes.

What style does Julia’s Violin Academy focus on?

In our Learning System we work on developing basic techniques that can be applied to all styles. The pieces most of our members work on are primarily classical, Irish fiddle, film music & pop songs.

I don’t live in Europe. Can I sign up?

Of course! We’ve got members from all over the world.

What does it cost to be a member?

It’s currently $65 USD per month to become a member (quarterly paid).

You can also save 20% if you become a member of Julia’s Violin Academy for a year. Then the monthly membership fee decreases to $49 USD per month. In this case, you will save $192 yearly in comparison to the monthly membership.

Do you offer any refunds or guarantees?

We stand behind our promises. If you found out after sign-up that you aren’t 100% satisfied in any way, we will directly refund your money (no questions asked). See also our Refund Policy.

I already have a violin teacher. Does this interfere?

Not at all! We’ve got members who already have a violin teacher and they benefit a lot. Your violin teacher is probably limited for 45 minutes per week – our academy is open 24/7. Our supportive community, our communal practice sessions & additional feedback will help you to get more motivated to practice during the week & help you get as best prepared for your private lessons as you can be!
