Get in Shape Fast Formula for Returning Violinists

Downloadable & Printable Checklist

The questions I get asked the most are:

“Heather, what do you do when you need to get into violin performing shape fast?”

“What is your daily practice routine?”

The majority of my students that I currently work with online are violinists that went to the University for violin studies and then had to take time off for family, work, career, make a living, kids etc. or advanced adult learners.

Time is of the essence and/or they want to return to the playing skills they had before they took the time off. I understand the frustration of not having the skills you once had and the desire to get them back as quickly as possible.

I promise with this checklist you will get yourself back into shape in no time with daily practice.

This 100% immediately downloadable checklist is for adult intermediate to pro violinists who want to get back into playing shape as quickly as possible taking their skill sets to another level.

Hi, I’m Heather Kaye

Violinist, Attuner, High Vibe Life & Biz Coach

No matter if you are a beginner, intermediate, advanced or professional violinist, I can help you. As a career violinist, pedagogue, performer and online sol-preneur with heaps of experience, I am here to help you overcome your blocks that is stopping from your desires whether that be violin technique, gorgeous tone, performance anxiety or building an online violin studio.

Heather Kaye is an answer to a great wish of mine: a passion to play violin effectively. Since a teacher was not available, I developed a practice routine for myself, yet moved forward slowly.  After a cry for help on LinkedIn, Heather was recommended to me by one of her Skype students; he said that he highly recommended her and that she had it all figured out. Indeed, he was correct.

Right from the start she took charge in a supportive, friendly but businesslike, no-nonsense approach to giving me feedback on the violin. She is an insightful teacher that works on multiple levels; for example, for the nut and bolds of violin technique, she assigns very effective exercises; for the reflective level she suggests ways of recording, writing and videoing yourself  in order to be present; and, for the philological level, she gives of exercises to over come stage fright.

For me, Heather is like the Jillian Michaels (work-out guru) for violin, in that, you follow her program and it is a short cut to being an effective player. I have been studying with Heather now since January and my improvement is noticeable not only to myself but to the outside also. During the last gig I played, a lady commented, saying my violin filled the room soulful beauty. I received the compliment with a smile remembering all the feedback from Heather and practicing she inspired me to do.

If you are serious about improving, I highly recommend Heather.

Before I started studying with Heather, I had some position hesitations, intonation issues, and really being able to draw the sound from my instrument. Since working with her, I’ve noticed more confidence in my playing and shifting. More accuracy and ease with my playing. My intonation and all around playing has really been enhanced into something I wouldn’t have been able to do on my own.

I’ve learned so much already in just four lessons! I knew she was the perfect teacher for me through her amazing YouTube videos and what I was able to gain from them! She really knows how to get one to enhance their skills and make them a better player! I couldn’t be happier!! I’m so inspired and driven to be a better player now!

Heather Kaye taught me how to play violin for ten wonderful years. She shaped me into a great violinist technically, guided me to appreciate music in general, and most importantly, taught me disciplinary skills that made me into the young adult that I am today. I am indeed forever grateful.

I started coaching sessions with Heather in January 2014, having been finding my own way along without a teacher for around 3 years. I knew that I had major issues with intonation, tone, timing and vibrato to name but a few, and I had no structure to my practice although I played for an hour and a half every day. I had never tried or even considered violin coaching online but having studied Heather’s website and watched a few videos it looked like she ticked all the boxes. Having a free half hour Skype session with Heather then absolutely convinced me.

I found her approach light and inspirational, whilst she was able to shine a laser beam on the weaknesses in my technique in an instant and give me clear instructions on how to correct it, accompanied by exercises to wire it into my nervous system.

In the following months since then I have loved every session and have seen week on week improvements in my playing beyond what I dreamed possible. Heather’s way of bringing awareness to every pitch is inspirational and has revolutionized my intonation. Having worked with Heather online for these few months I don’t know if I would want to go back to conventional face to face teaching. It has so many advantages.

Heather can just pull up some relevant teaching materials or sheet music and I have it instantly. I get links to videos so that I can continue learning between the sessions and can prep new things that we are going to work on. Plus I get a recording of our session so I can go back and check on anything I wasn’t clear about – and go back to earlier recording to see just how far I have progressed over the weeks.

Then one of my favourite things – I get written notes after the session, with what to work on for the next session which has been great for giving me clear guidelines on what to practice each day, providing me with the structure that I had been lacking.

In short, I can’t praise Heather’s coaching sessions highly enough.

What Heather is doing is brilliant and smart and passionate! What a wonderful age we live in that this is even possible. And that people with talent and passion have a commitment to pass that knowledge on, so that others who may not otherwise get this kind of chance can benefit.

Heather Kaye’s enthusiasm and belief that we can all learn violin at our own pace is infectious. Her ability to dissect violin playing into learnable chunks gets and keeps you in the game. You will be happy with your musicianship if you follow Heather’s programs.
