No. You can buy electric violins with a jack in the back where you can plug in headphones so only you can hear its amplified sound. Some come w/ headphones, but if not you can just use your iPod headphones instead. Two good brands of those are the Yamaha and the Stagg silent electric violins. These you can also plug into an amp if you want.

Without an amp, the electric violin is almost impossible to hear. It is like rubbing a bow on an elastic band.This is because the box where the sound usually gets amplified does not exist on the electric violin (much like the Electric Guitar). This means that the sound will not be amplified, and the only sound you will hear is the sound of the vibrating string coming directly to your ear.
