The history of evolution of violin schools in England is historical one. The industrial revolution during the eighteenth and nineteenth century brought sudden changes in the lives of the people. The people engaged in agricultural activities moved to cities and towns to work in the mills, factories, and other small scale industries. In some cities, like London the class differences divided the upper from the lower classes. The upper classes in their endeavor to educate the lower classes established educational societies. One of them is the “Concerts for the People”. The cultivation of music seemed to pacify the rowdy makeup of the working classes.  The massive sharing in the sight-singing concert classes led to the opening of violin classes for the grownups. Many of these classes were designed after sight-singing classes. A review in The Musical Times wrote that in 1882 the violin school Midland Mechanics Institute in Birmingham in England was set up.
