Violin Master Pro

by Eric Lewis

The Violin Master Pro is a self-study violin playing course. All the teaching techniques and methods used in Violin Master Pro were developed by Eric Lewis (consequently the course is also known as the complete Eric Lewis method).

Eric Lewis has been playing a violin all his life. He is a violinist of the Manhattan String Quartet and has been a privet violin teacher for more than 40 years. In ViolinMasterPro course he’s giving you a chance to learn to play the violin from one of the greatest players in the world.

The foundations of ViolinMasterPro were set in 1988 when Professor Eric Lewis was conducting university orchestras. He wanted to help players advance much faster and saw that a new method of teaching will be needed to achieve this. So he developed his own, the Eric Lewis method. This method was later refined, Eric recorded 100s of training videos and put the method into writing. Now this package is known as the Violin Master Pro System.

With its help you’ll learn to play violin like a pro. You’ll be able to play in every possible style, from classical, to rock, from jazz to hip hop, country and more. You will learn how to play music from memory, how to improvise, play by ear, how to read music, and even how to write your own.

100s of videos that are available in ViolinMasterPro are arranged in 11 video lessons, but you will also receive all the scales, chords, exercises and even exclusive professional quality jam tracks for you to play along with.

Violin Master Pro System is available in an instant-download package.

Violin Master Pro review. Don't touch it with a barge pole.

Being an Intermediate violinist the initial videos were a waste of time. Mr Lewis is too verbose as one other review put it. In the video on tuning the violin by ear he does not explain how this is done.

Moreover the download software is so designed that you have to wait a further month for subsequent downloads. You do not know in advance what these downloads will consist of.

I asked their customer service for a list of subsequent downloads. they could not/would not help me.

They have a six month refund from Click Bank. I had problems with their click bank refund link.

I e-mailed Violin Master Pro customer services twice, in the last few days. Still waiting for a reply. Thankfully the Click bank link eventually worked and my refund is assured it seems. I Don't expect to hear back from Violin Master Pro however.

What you can do is get some of their downloads and cancel within the 6 month period.

I have not been able to download any of the videos. I have tried every password given to me. Nothing works. I have emailed Master Pro (Lewis) and have not receive a reply. Also I have not figured out how to get my money back. Not sure if I can. Looks like a rip off to me.

I tried to e-mail Eric Lewis and the only e-mail address doen't even work! Probably because he gets so many complaints. The Violin pro course by Eric Lewis stinks! He is a verbose egoist who rambles on, obviously loving the sound of his own voice. He could spend 1 minute showing you how to hold a bow, BUT instead spends 10 minutes talking about how he is going to show you!!!! Buy either the Violin Tutor package onlione or go to Amazon and but the complete "Teach Yourself" violin course by amsco publications that comes with a book, 3 CD's and a DVD! They are much better than Eric Lewis' wordy droning on blah blah blah. Billy Bruce

Violin Master Pro - a review

ViolinMasterPro showed me how to play violin. I have now been playing in a symphony once a week. I am playing second violin and we play everything from Mozart to Prokofiev .

The lessons were easy and fulfilling. I was able to pick up the techniques easily and I had alot of fun with them.

As an experienced student...

...I had come to a crossroads in my violin performance development. I was searching for an exercise that could stick. After only two weeks of playing, I have seen tremendous improvements in my playing and it is definitely, without a doubt, from using the Eric Lewis method. From Shostakovich to Beethoven, I have critiqued my playing since working with the program.
