Here's some information to help you with the violin & viola rental or purchase process. Our favorite studio instruments come from Taft Violins.

Is my child ready for lessons?

We can gauge if your child is ready for violin or viola lessons by considering their attention span, fine motor skills, and interest in music. Children who can follow simple instructions, stay focused for short periods, and show curiosity & enjoyment when exploring sounds may be ready to start.

Emotional readiness - patience with practice and willingness to try new challenges - is also key. Adults also need to be able to guide practice sessions with teacher instruction. Signing them up for a short trial lesson can help confirm this.
