This paper examines the role of Rodolphe Kreutzer in the French violin school and his contributions to violin pedagogy. Kreutzer is recognized as an important violinist, composer, and pedagogical figure who shaped the French violin school during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The aim of this paper is to explain how Kreutzer's pedagogical works influenced violin education and the legacy he left in contemporary violin teaching. In this context, Kreutzer's works, such as "42 Etudes," have become fundamental sources in violin education, contributing not only to the development of technical skills but also to the deepening of musical expression. The paper uses a literature review method to draw from various sources on Kreutzer's life and pedagogical contributions. It also examines the place of Kreutzer's works in modern violin education and how this pedagogical legacy continues to inspire today's educators. Kreutzer's teaching methodology, which blends technical proficiency with musical expression, demonstrates that his pedagogical legacy remains relevant in modern times. His etudes provide a solid foundation for young violinists, helping them develop both technical and artistic skills. This study highlights the lasting impact of Kreutzer on violin pedagogy and his contributions to the modern violin education system. The etudes are not only vital for technical development but also play a significant role in enriching students' artistic expression. Kreutzer’s methodology is a cornerstone of contemporary violin pedagogy, referenced worldwide in conservatories and forming a significant resource in violin education
