Worship & Strings

This course would be best for Mature Beginners all the way to Professional violinists. *The Mature Beginner would have good bow control & know basic music note reading (ex.- quarter notes, note names on staff)

This is the Only online course that teaches this: 'Playing Violin on a Worship Team' which means it is rarely taught. I have searched everywhere: YouTube, Google, Blogs, you name it. Even if there may be ‘some’ tips on the internet, ask yourself: Truly, how effective were the solutions people gave? There is a lack of demonstration of how to play on a worship team as a string player. One significant part of the mission of Worship & Strings is solving this issue through proven answers and demonstration no matter where you are located.

The short answer is Yes. Here's why. There may be worship conferences that teach worship violin playing in a special class or seminar. BUT.. "What if this conference is located far away? I would have to buy the worship conference pass, the lodging, the food, the pass for seminars..and the total cost of that being $1000-$5000 and could even more than that ??? That is VERY expensive. Don’t get us wrong. We would all love an opportunity to learn and grow by attending worship conferences. However, "What if I have a busy schedule? What if it’s out of my budget?" Worship & Strings offers a Self-Paced course where you can learn anytime, anywhere AND for a much affordable price. Save your money. Save your energy. Learn at your own pace. Receive the answers you’re looking for instantly AND have life-long access to the course.

If you are starting to learn violin (Beginner level), then yes. You should be learning violin in private lessons. For intermediate level players who have been learning violin consistently through private lessons in less than 10-15 years or so, it is still suggested that you are also taking private violin lessons to solidify violin technique.

Classical Violin Technique is helpful. What is most important however is having solidified basic playing technique such as playing with the bow correctly, good intonation, posture, etc.

This course will NOT teach basic violin playing technique. This course is designed to teach how to play with a worship band as a string player. If you are beginning to learn to play the violin or your specific instrument, PLEASE find a trusted violin teacher/teacher who teaches your specific instrument to help and guide you to playing with the right technique. DO NOT use this course to replace one-on-one instruction. After the student learns and applies solid technique, this course can then be beneficial for the violinist desiring to learn how to play violin with a worship band.

Worship & Strings welcomes all musicians who accompany a worship band (string musician or not) to take our course. We have helped flute players, saxophonists, and other instrumentalists outside of the standard string family (Violin, Viola, Cello). The results would be the same and worship style playing would become second nature.
