Violin Master Pro Review

Eric Lewis is a 40 year old veteran of the Manhattan String Quartet and the world renown first violinist of the Prometheus Piano Quartet. He has been touring the world since the 1970's, playing and teaching young violin players how to master the works of Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky. Now with his online course, Violin Master Pro, his lessons are available to the rest of us. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced violinist, this program can help accelerate your learning curve and and have you playing the best music of your life. With the Eric Lewis system, you will also learn to play any type of music on the violin from Bluegrass to Jazz, how to read music quickly, how to improvise, how to write songs and how to play by ear or from memory.

What you get:

The complete Violin Master Pro Learning System includes:

-11 Video Lessons
-Exclusive Jam Tracks
-Exercises
-1000+ Scales
-Access to the Violin Video Library
-Unlimited Access to The Members section

The price for this system is only $27, which is considerably cheaper than most programs out there that promise to show you how to master a particular instrument.

What Others Think:

Researching Eric Lewis to see if he is indeed a great violinist and not some scam artist posing as a virtuoso, I found that he is indeed the real McCoy. His group, The Manhattan String Quartet, is actually world renown and their music is widely liked and respected among 20th Century Classical music aficionados. Eric Lewis is also a well respected music teacher with tons of hands on experience making other young violin players better. When looking into his credentials, I even was able to find one such student who highly recommended his online video course if getting an actual instructor was impossible.

Eric Lewis seems to be as legit as violin teachers come, however, it seems that his online teaching course leaves much to be desired. In fact, the only good thing about it seems to be the relatively rock bottom price that it is being sold for. The biggest complaints about this program seem to be its quality and quantity. One miffed customer warned others that you only get 21 instructional videos instead of the 100's that the site advertises. Another customer claimed that these videos were so bad that no one could possibly learn to master the violin from them. Despite the glowing reviews of Eric Lewis as a live instructor, there were also multiple complaints of Mr. Lewis being overly verbose as well as vague in the videos. The site's customer support also appears to be less than desirable with a number of customers complaining of getting no response for their various queries.

While Eric Lewis may be a great teacher in person, it appears that his Violin Master Pro Course is not the greatest way to master the violin. While $27 seems like a sweet deal, my suggestion is to find an alternative. That being said, Violin Master Pro is backed by the Clickbank 60 day money back guarantee, so feel free to try it out if you just cannot pass up on the price. Just be sure to contact Clickbank directly for your money back if you desire a refund.
