Level Up
Your Passion!
The Violin Bootcamp 6-Week Challenge
A program uniquely designed to help busy women rediscover their passion for violin in under 10 minutes a day. Enjoy practice, play with confidence, and reconnect with creativity - all while levelling up your technique.
Are you a busy woman who wants to reconnect with your passion for violin?
Maybe you've put your violin aside for too long, and now the thought of diving back in feels daunting. Life gets busy, and finding time for yourself—and your music—often takes a backseat. If you're struggling with finding the right material, making inconsistent progress, or simply feeling unmotivated to play, you're not alone. The Violin Bootcamp 6-Week Challenge is here to get you unstuck and find joy in your practice again.
I’ve been there, too.
After burnout, I almost gave up my dream of being a full-time musician. But I found a way back to my passion, and now, I want to help you do the same.
I'm here to tell you that...
You don't need endless hours of practice to make meaningful progress.
My 7-Minute Power Routine System is all about targeted, effective practice that fits into any busy schedule. It's a mindset shift—learning to value quality over quantity, and realizing that it's possible to level up your skills without sacrificing your time or passion. It’s a proven method that has already helped many women like you reconnect with their creativity and discover their unique sound again.
Let me help you...
1. Set Clear Intentions for Every Practice Session: Make each session count by focusing on one clear, achievable goal.
2. Consolidate Your Routine with Creativity: Integrate both technical and creative elements for a more holistic practice.
3. Stay Laser-Focused on Your Progress: Learn the art of hyper-focus to maximize every minute you play.
4. Use a Powerful 7-Minute Routine to Address Your Main Goal: Unlock your potential with fun, structured mini-practices.
5. Reflect and Improve: Build confidence by recording, reviewing, and celebrating your progress.
Here's how the 6-Week Challenge works.
Each week, you’ll receive a new challenge topic focused on a technical aspect of violin, a video lesson presenting the material, and a daily 7-minute power routine to focus on. This system is designed to give you the results you crave in a fraction of the time you thought you needed.

Who am I
Hi! My name is Marlene.
I'm a violinist and teaching artist with over 20 years of experience.
My mission is to empower busy women to rekindle their passion for violin in less than 10 minutes per day!
I have spent over a decade refining my own practice and teaching methods so I can help others improve their playing with the least amount of practice time.
I developed this program to reclaim my power as a violinist, following an unexpected and draining hiatus brought on by a high-stress lifestyle that ultimately led to burnout. Using my 7-minute power routines system, I came out the other side and now I'm here to help you do the same!

“I joined the Violin Bootcamp because I had been out of practice for years, and I needed something to get me back in gear. I realized that I had a solid base, but that I wasn’t where I wanted to be. I wasn’t confident playing in front of others. Now, I can say that I happily play in front of audiences, and that I have the skills to pick up a new piece and just play! Thank you for everything you have done for me Marlene ”
Claire Poulin, Ottawa ON
"I needed a productive and time efficient practice method with the accountability to keep me going. The bootcamp along with Marlene's guidance help me strengthen some of the foundational skills I had learned years ago, but had slacked on because of lack of focus and direction. I gained the confidence to record myself regularly and get over some of the performance anxiety I had suffer from when I was studying music years ago in College."
