Question 1

My child has never played before — is that okay?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Most of our students start as complete beginners. Our teachers are specifically trained to introduce the instrument in a joyful, low-pressure way. No prior experience or theory knowledge required.

Question 2

How young can my child start?

Accepted Answer

We take private students from age 4 and up. If your child is younger, give us a call — we're happy to talk through when the time is right to start lessons.

Question 3

What should we bring to the first lesson?

Accepted Answer

Just yourselves! We provide the instrument (except for guitar/violin/cello if you already own one) and all materials for your free 30-minute lesson. Wear comfortable clothes.

Question 4

How much do lessons cost after the free trial?

Accepted Answer

The cost of private lessons varies depending on the frequency and length of the lesson. We'll walk you through options at the end of your first lesson, with no obligation to purchase.

Question 5

What's your make-up policy?

Accepted Answer

Life happens. We offer generous make-up windows for illness and scheduling conflicts, and we work with your family to keep progress on track.

Question 6

Do you offer instrument rentals?

Accepted Answer

We can point you to trusted local partners for renting or purchasing instruments in the right size — especially important for young string players.
