Jason M. says, "Rick is not your typical trainer. He emphasizes correct form all the time, proper breathing in the exercise, and makes sure I feel safe doing his whole body routines. He definitely has passion and confidence in what he knows and shares this freely. His gym is small, but it surprisingly is set up for everything a big gym has. Rick has been consistent the past 3 months with good workouts, follow up evals, listening to my ideas, and always making sure I understand the exercise and that I'm doing them correctly. I highly recommend Whole Body Fitness by Rick. " Read more

How much does a kid's violin cost?

A kid's violin costs $50 to $400 minimum for the smallest sizes. Renting a child's first violin saves money while your child decides if the violin is something they want to keep learning or not. Music stores often rent violins for $25 to $50 per month.

How early can kids play the violin?

Kids can start playing the violin when they're between 4 to 7 years old, depending on if they can focus on the lesson for 30 minutes. You should wait until your child has the physical skills needed for violin lessons, like finger strength and flexibility.

How many violin lessons does a kid need?

How many violin lessons a kid needs depends on their natural abilities and experience with music, how often they practice, and what they want to achieve. Most children need to take violin classes regularly for many months before they can play a simple song or read music.

For example, consider these average learning timelines:

  • After about 3 to 6 years, you'll be able to play many different songs quite well.
  • If you want to play like a professional, it often takes more than 10 years of practice.

Can kids learn violin online?

Kids can learn violin online with private lessons that cost $40 to $70 per hour. These live video-chat sessions with a personal teacher allow more learning flexibility with scheduling. You'll need a high-speed Internet connection with a good webcam and microphone for your child to benefit fully from these lessons.

Please note that young children may require parental supervision during online lessons.

Very friendly, knowledgable teachers! I also like that they have a sizable music library, an easy-to-find location, and put on their recitals in real venues. Great experience all around!
