Do you want to learn an instrument but struggle to find time to travel or commit to regular lessons?


You've come to the right place! We offer high quality online lessons and courses in violin playing and music theory. (Stay tuned for more instruments over the coming years!)


OUR LESSONS

Weekly violin and theory lessons are available via zoom on both a contract and casual basis to suit your style.

Why Learn Online?

  • High quality lessons - our students achieve consistently high results in AMEB exams
  • Learn from anywhere - no travelling to lessons
  • Easier for busy parents to be involved in their child's learning, leading to better outcomes
  • Get the most out of your lesson time - no unpack/pack-up time
  • Connect with other students through online groups and concerts
  • Lesson recordings (audio) and written notes emailed after each session
  • Close up shots of left and right hand technique 
  • Interactive whiteboard for theory and note reading
  • Sheet music shared on screen
  • Discounted access to all Steps 2 Music courses for a structured approach to learning


OUR COURSES

Separate to lessons, we also offer online courses in violin, music theory and effective practice technique. These are designed as an extra resource adding structure and direction to home practice sessions for those already enrolled in lessons and are offered at a discounted rate to our eligible online students. They are also ideal for people not ready or able to commit to regular lessons and as an educational tool for parents who would like to assist with their child's practice.

Because violin is a tricky instrument to learn without the guidance of a teacher, we offer one off 'Technique Check' lessons live or via correspondence for those course participants not enrolled in lessons who want some feedback on their progress. Ideal for self-directed learners, the course combined with semi-regular 'Technique Checks' provides quality education at a much lower price than traditional weekly lessons, making violin playing more accessible to everyone.


And for those of you who never quite got a grasp of music theory - 'How Music Works - Understanding Music Theory' is launching later in the year!

"I had been grappling with music theory for a long time before taking the theory course from Melody Music School. It's by far the best course I've come across with information presented in easily managed sections comprising of very clear verbal explanations, demonstrations and diagrams. Thoroughly recommend this course! "

Hi, I’m Clare!


I'm a professional violinist and music teacher from Melbourne, Australia. After a year of teaching online during the pandemic, I noticed how much my students had progressed and realised the potential of online education. I began working hard researching and developing online methods and resources, in the hope of offering high quality education and opportunities to those students in remote areas without easy access to music tuition.


I hope that Steps 2 Music will offer a valuable resource to beginner violinists Australia wide.
