Meadowlark
Violin Studio

Get Started!
Is learning violin overwhelming? Do you...
  • Want to learn violin but don't know where to start?
  • Get frustrated with bad habits but don't know how to fix them?
  • Feel that you practice but never make progress?
  • Struggle to piece together instruction from random Youtube videos?

That's what inspired me to create my online violin studio!

Learning violin doesn't have to be so hard, but if you don't have a clear path for progression, or lack community support, then violin can be very frustrating. That's where my online studio comes in.

Thanks so much for putting this all together, and making it so affordable as well. It’s exciting to think of the progress I will make over the next 12 months. There are hours and hours of lessons ahead of me, and I am so looking forward to it. 🙏

What People Are Saying

Whenever I am not sure what to practice the solution is easy -- I go to Lora's courses. They continually prove to be an inexhaustible resource. If I were stranded on a desert island with my violin and only one membership, this would be the membership.

Mark Studio Member

I love the studio membership. The beginner’s course is fantastic. I love the step-by-step you provide. I started knowing nothing. If I had not found the Meadowlark Online Studio, I don't think I would be as far as I am. I would have given up if it weren't for Lora!

Cindy Studio Member

I was trying to decide on a new violin. I got some advice from a couple other violin players but it wasn’t until Lora explained the differences between two violins that I was able to decide on which one to purchase. I would strongly recommend signing up for her membership!

Dennis Studio Member

"This is THE membership to have if you want to learn to play violin with a strong foundation, good technique and a clear understanding of all things violin in a very positive environment."

Lora’s attention to detail, especially anticipating the adult learner’s needs is incredible and I love her short, bite-sized lessons.

Cindy

Studio Member

Truly do love your teaching. I would have given up if not for you. I started knowing nothing, not even how to rosin the bow. Thankfully you took care of that also!!!

Dennis

Studio Member

Lora has very well-designed lessons that are easy to understand and follow. Lora herself is very good at explaining things in a way that makes it easy to understand. I would strongly recommend signing up for her membership.

Chris

Studio Member

I have learned so much in The Beginners Course already in the first 2 chapters (and I have been playing awhile). I highly recommend the studio membership to all, no matter what level, for Lora knows how to teach. I also love the community, meeting other players. Bravo!!!!

One of the keywords to describe the membership is variety.
Another keyword to describe the course is simply instruction. Lora never leaves you stranded -- when she introduces a new technique, she has one or more modules that explain the theory and kin-esthetics behind that technique. Lora provides you with every tool you could possibly ever need to make your practice time happy.

Deborah

Studio Member

Lora is a gifted teacher with a clear understanding of the needs of adult learners. Working through her courses has noticeably improved my playing. The progress I've made in her studio has given me the confidence to persevere. Lora deserves a FIVE STAR rating for a high-end violin membership!

Lisa

You break down songs in a way that I’ve never seen! It makes sense and you make it SO MUCH EASIER to conquer. I find your method VERY HELPFUL!!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! The whole reason I started making video lessons was because there was never enough time in my private lessons to explain everything my students needed to know about a topic.

My membership works great in conjunction with a private teacher and can help you "fill in the blanks" with any questions or issues you may have.
Yes! The courses are prerecorded so you can access them anytime you want. Live events will be recorded for you to access later if you aren't able to tune in for the live event.

Absolutely! My goal with my membership is to provide you with a an easy-to-follow, step-by-step progression from brand new beginner to intermediate player. With today's technology, I can literally record everything you need to need to know at each step, down to the tiny details in a step-by-step approach.

In my courses I always cover problem spots, common bad habits, and "gotchas" to help you avoid all of the typical frustrations that slow students down.

About

Hi, I'm Lora
I created Meadowlark Violin for people just like you...

I have been instructing violin to all ages for over fifteen years. I hold degrees in Violin Performance as well as String Pedagogy, but I'm most proud of the hundreds of students who have learned to play the violin under my instruction. I'm excited to show you the wonderful possibilities of the violin, overcome its challenges and frustrations, and enjoy playing beautiful music!
