Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended age to start?

Students should ideally begin private lessons from the age of 5 or 6, but no age is too late to begin. Learning an instrument can bring great fulfillment starting from any age - including adulthood!

How to go about getting an instrument?

Having a well made and properly fitted instrument is essential for string players. There are many sizes of violins and violas, so recommended shops for getting set up are Johnson Strings, and Needham Music. These stores allow both rental and purchasing options!

What other equipment/materials will I need?

Besides their instrument and bow, each student will need a properly fitted shoulder rest, and rosin for their bow. Music books will be chosen by the teacher depending on the level/goals of the student.

Should I be involved as a parent?

For young beginners and new students, parents are strongly encouraged to participate and take notes in classes to be able to assist in at home practicing. As students progress and become more independent, this involvement will turn to more general support.
