Committed to Students and Schools
We work closely with school orchestra directors and string programs to provide your child with the school approved instrument and instructional book. Shop our Local School Partners Page to find a custom catalog filled with the instruments, method book, and accessories that your band director suggests. Plus, your school gets 5% back from your purchase! If you are a music director interested in earning 5% back for your school, please visit our In The Schools page.
Violins and other orchestral string instruments are excellent beginning instruments because fractional sizes mean even young players can find a small enough instrument for them. If your child is joining a strings program at their school or learning outside of school, we have resources to help. Read our Band and Orchestra Blog for tips about proper finger placement, cleaning, and how to make practice more fun.
