One of the best things about online violin lessons from Red Desert Violin is that they walk you systematically through each book. We don’t just throw you into a pool of videos and hope you can swim. Here’s how you’ll conquer book 3:

• Each unit and each lesson builds on the one before it. Your progress is a natural outcome of practice, repetition, and moving through the lessons in order!
• You are given access to three entire units at a time, which is about 30 videos. Each 30 days or so, the system automatically opens up the next series of videos to you. The units don’t close, so even if you’re not ready for the next batch of lessons, you can still move at your own pace.
• Your card is billed $47 each month for eight months. Enjoy continued access to all your lessons for two full years after your last payment. That’s nearly 3 years!
• You may cancel anytime.
• Access your lessons any time you want from your personal Red Desert Violin member portal.
• Enjoy personal access to my help and technical support for the duration of this course.
• Watch the videos as often as you like, on any device with a fast internet connection.
• Download the audio files to play on the device of your choice.
• 60-day guarantee. You will love these lessons, your money back.

• Am I ready for Suzuki book 3? Before you take the class, I recommend that you have:
  1. Some proficiency in reading music. (I have a “Learn to Read Music” course if you need to brush up.)
  2. A grasp of how to do vibrato. (I will help you with the finishing touches and implement it in your playing, but you need a foundation. I have a violin vibrato course if you need to learn this first.)
  3. A good understanding of the basics of tone production and intonation
• Can online lessons really be that good? If you have an in-person teacher you really like, then that is certainly the best route. But I have worked very hard to make sure these online lessons are the best they can be. If you follow my system, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied with your lessons experience.
• Don’t I need contact with a live teacher? Yes! And I work very hard to shrink the distance between us. You can reach out to me anytime for the first year through the comments section. After the first year, you can purchase an extension to continue getting personal attention. I’ll always be there to answer questions personally and give support and encouragement.
• What if I get started and it’s too hard for me, or too easy? Simply let me know. I can move you to book 2 or book 1 if this one is too hard for you. If it’s too easy for you, I can let you move faster through the course, or you can cancel your membership with no hard feelings.
• Do I need to know how to read music? Yes. My book 2 course gave thorough and complete instruction on reading music. While the Suzuki philosophy emphasizes learning by ear, we are now at a level where we must learn etudes and exercises that are no longer feasible to learn by ear.
• After book 1 and 2 do I still need to stick with Suzuki? Yes because Suzuki philosophy constantly reinforces what you learned in books 1 and 2, so it’s best to stick with the approach. In addition, as you start to learn musicality and expression, the Suzuki philosophy helps you acquire these skills more easily than you can with a traditional method.
• How long will I have access to my lessons? You will have access for two full years after your final payment. After that, extensions can be purchased for $30 per year.
• How quickly can I get through book 3? The class is timed to take you about eight months, but most people need longer. So if you need to take longer, go ahead. Everyone goes at their own pace and your pace is okay.
• Do I have to buy the book? Yes. Think of it as building your library
