Frequently Asked Questions
FiddleQuest is a web-app and therefore requires a modern browser and Internet connection to run. Most mobile devices (iPads etc) have parental controls that let you explicitly specify which sites your child is allowed to access. You can easily lock down the device from all Internet sites and allow only fiddlequest.com.
Absolutely. Older students often prefer to have their own account. During Sign-up, simply select “I am an Independent Student”.
Violin is a difficult instrument to learn without a teacher. FiddleQuest is designed to be used with the guidance of an in-person teacher.
Each student needs their own FiddleQuest account. Assignments, progress tracking, teacher notes, and video uploads are all tied to individual students. We offer family discounts for multi-student families.
You can cancel your account at any time in Settings on the Billing tab. If you every have a question about this or anything else, we’re always just a click away.
You will be asked to select your teacher during signup. If you don’t have a teacher yet, you can choose “I don’t have a FiddleQuest teacher yet” during signup, and your teacher can later select you from their login.
Kids are motivated by other kids. First lessons usually include a story from a young student about how they saw a friend or an ‘older’ high school student playing. It was enough to get them to ask their parent for lessons.
The power of peers is no secret. FiddleQuest leverages that power through videos. When a student learns a song, their teacher can use the free “FiddleQuest for Teachers” mobile app to take a video and easily upload it. When FiddleQuest students are working on a song, they explore other students performances from all over in the world. As students watch these videos, they are not only encouraged to practice more, they become increasingly more familiar with the song making the learning process that much faster.
FiddleQuest teachers have observed students who have learned songs entirely from watching videos of other students.
No problem! Just select “I don’t have a FiddleQuest teacher yet” during sign-up. We’ll help you find a FiddleQuest teacher in your area.
