Learning the violin is great for all ages! Students will develop a sense of pitch and fine motor skills with this classic instrument. Some things to consider:

What age is the best to start violin lessons?
We have students from age 4 to adults in our violin lesson program. It's never too late to start!
What styles of violin do you teach?
We teach the most common styles of violin: Suzuki, traditional, and fiddle.
But do I need a violin?
Yes, you'll need your own appropriately sized violin. A variety of sizes are made from 4/4 (full size) to 1/32 size. You can either rent or buy from a local violin shop and we like to use Wilhite Strings.
Anything else I should know about taking violin lessons?
Yes, violin might make your fingertips a little sore at first because you'll be pressing down on strings. Also, it might take some time before you're playing some songs because the first few steps are learning how to hold the instrument and bow.
