Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend starting string instrument lessons around age 5 or 6, when children have developed the necessary focus and motor skills. However, it’s never too late to start – we welcome students of all ages!

Regular practice is key to progress. We recommend 15-30 minutes of daily practice for beginners, gradually increasing as skills develop. Consistent shorter practice sessions are more effective than occasional long sessions.

While owning an instrument is ideal for regular practice, we can provide instruments during lessons and offer rental recommendations. Our instructors can help you find the right instrument and size for your needs.

Progress varies by individual, but most beginners can play simple songs within a few months. Mastering a string instrument is a journey that continues to develop over years of dedicated practice and study.

Absolutely! Many of our successful students started with no prior musical knowledge. Our experienced instructors will guide you through the fundamentals at your own pace, building a strong foundation for your musical journey.
