We recommend setting up a regular practice schedule and trying to get between 75 and 100 minutes of practice each week. We have found that students who consistently practice about 100 minutes a week do very well. It is often best to do four 25 minute sessions or five 20 minute sessions if your schedule permits it.

I recently decided to pick up a new hobby. I wanted something that would challenge me and exercise my brain . I also needed this hobby to not take up a lot of space in my relatively small New York apartment. After some consideration, I decided to learn to play the violin. Learning the violin ticked all the boxes I was aiming for. Plus I had previous experience with learning an instrument (I played first-seat clarinet in high school), so I already had some basic music skills. Half inspired by the book The Art of Is, by improvisational violinist Stephen Nachmanovitch, and half inspired by my favorite violin-playing fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, I set about my task. After first checking retail sites like Amazon, Craigslist, and eBay, I quickly realized I’d need to do some research before getting an instrument. To find out how to pick the right violin, I chatted with Ellen Silver, director of the New York City–based Silver Music school; Charles Avsharian, CEO of SHAR Music, an Ann Arbor, Michigan–based retailer of stringed instruments and accessories for nearly 60 years; and Joseph Tanen, a luthier (or maker of stringed instruments) in New York with over 30 years of experience. I also spoke with two violin teachers: New York City–based Meredith Ezinma Ramsay—professionally known as Ezinma—who’s been teaching for more than nine years, and Los Angeles–based Leslie Gonzalez, who’s been teaching for six years and is currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in violin performance at the University of Redlands.
