FAQ's About Other Lessons
Can I rent a violin?
Yes you can. If you're renting for a child we actually recommend renting instead of purchasing. We can measure your child for a violin appropriately sized for them. Then with our rental program as your child grows, they can exchange their violin in for the next size up at no additional cost.
What do I need to bring to my lessons?
You need to bring your guitar, maybe a pick, and questions. We'll take care of any amplification you may or may not need.
Do I need to already have a musical background?
Just the passion to learn, your teacher has the experience to take you wherever you wish on your musical journey.
