Overview of Violin Lessons:

The violin family of instruments consists of the violin, viola, cello, and double bass - all stringed instruments that are taught by Mobile Music Academy Certified Instructors. Private lessons are highly recommended for all of the violin family instruments due to the importance of good technique development.

Age to Begin Lessons:

The generally recommended minimum age to start a child in violin is 5 years old, although certain methodologies such as Suzuki can be utilized to teach children as young as 4 years old.

Purchase Requirements:

While renting a violin is often done to acclimate an aspiring violinist to the instrument, rentals are sometimes difficult to practice with because of their lesser quality. However many families with younger students may require a smaller violin, and renting is a cheaper means of changing the size of a violin as the student grows.

When buying a higher-quality violin, the student should test out many violins and bows to find the right fit. Modern violins typically cost less than older ones, but older violins do make great investments. Bows must have a good weight, flexibility, and balance between the frog and the tip.
