The violin has long been a prominent instrument in music education, but challenges remain in sustaining student interest and optimizing learning efficacy. This systematic review explores effective educational strategies that can enhance student interest and performance in violin learning. After searching relevant databases, 19 articles were identified, of which 9 met the study's inclusion criteria. This review identifies several gaps in current violin teaching practices, including the predominance of traditional teacher-centred instruction and the limited effectiveness of learning outcomes. To address these gaps, the studies included in this review highlight a range of innovative strategies, such as teaching-equipment innovations, personalised learning methods, and motivational techniques. Findings suggest combining traditional and modern teaching methods can significantly improve learning outcomes. This review summarises recommendations for educators to enhance their teaching methods and foster a more engaging and effective learning model for violin learners.
