Meet your instructor

Hello, I’m Beth Blackerby, the creator of Violin Lab. I launched the site in 2008, inspired by my belief that adults can develop basic skills in a manner used by professional players.

It is my unwavering commitment and mission to help every member reach their musical potential and realize their dream of playing the violin beautifully.
