***Please avoid purchasing instruments from Amazon. Cheap instruments are usually poorly set-up, do not have a quality sound, can be difficult to tune, and may overall cause frustration. Purchasing a quality student violin usually costs at least $300-400, so renting may be more economic as students grow and change sizes, and usually a large portion of the rental fees build equity to purchase an instrument in the future.

 

We are looking forward to working with your children and helping them love music!
