The progress of Avilo: a chart by branch, intonation and rhythm, a streak of days

Today's session

  • 20, 30 or 40 minutes, in four to six exercises
  • The sound and a scale, the stages you are learning, then music
  • A review every third day
  • A piece of the repertoire, or your own score when a date is coming

53 programmes to choose from

14 themes of technique, each cut into short chapters from beginner to advanced: close to 280 stages in all. Follow one chapter, change it, or follow several. The stages are inspired by the violin methods: Ševčík, Schradieck, Flesch, Hřímalý.

Avilo's Technique tab: violin practice programmes by theme, with the stages acquired at your level

Progress you can measure

  • A stage is acquired when three different series are good, at your level's tempo
  • The tempo climbs series after series, from 70 % for a beginner up to the target tempo
  • A chart by branch, a journal, the minutes of the week and the streak of days
  • Reminders at the time you choose

Questions

How long should I practise the violin each day?

Twenty to forty minutes of focused work is enough for most adult learners. A little every day is better than two hours once a week. Avilo's daily session lasts 20, 30 or 40 minutes.

Can I learn the violin without a teacher?

You can progress a lot alone when you know where you stand in intonation and rhythm, which Avilo tells you. But a teacher sees what no app can: the bow hold, the posture, the tension. A few lessons from time to time, and Avilo in between.
