It's no wonder why so many are drawn to the violin. Capable of a wide palette of sounds and textures — from the uplifting and joyful to the grandiose and heartrending — it's prominently featured in classical music but can also be heard in genres as diverse as bluegrass and jazz. 

Becoming a great violin player requires mastering techniques that only the right instruction and regular practice can develop. But for those ready to take on the challenge, there's a rich, vibrant world of music to uncover. Here are five reasons to take online violin lessons.
