Violin and Fiddle

At the Mid-West Vocal Academy and Music School, we are proud to offer violin lessons for all ages and abilities. We start students from as young as 5 and there is no limit on the age!

The violin is a bowed string instrument which originated in the early 16th Century in Italy. The Fiddle is a colloquial term for the violin in many different genres. In an orchestra, the violin is part of the string section which forms the largest section along with viola, cello, and double bass.

Playing the violin can assist in motor development, co-ordination improved memory and attention span, improves posture as well as many other benefits. This is all in addition to the well documented benefits of learning any kind of music!
