Violin, Viola, Cello, and Double Bass
Violin: 5 years old
Viola: 3rd grade
Cello & Bass: 5th grade
Violin in particular is one of the best instruments for students ages 5-6 years old to start on, in part because violins come in small sizes for very young students and in part because of the Suzuki Method, a curriculum tailored toward violin students who do not yet read. Students age 5-12 years will be asked to schedule a sizing appointment with one of our qualified instructors to determine what size instrument they will need.
Already in an Orchestra Program?
For students already involved in an orchestra program at school, weekly private lessons in violin, viola, cello, or double bass can help tremendously with a student’s musical mastery, including learning proper playing techniques, note reading and recognition, and general music theory concepts. Your private lesson teacher can also help you prepare for concerts and auditions throughout the year. For more advanced students, we recommend a 45 or 60 minute orchestral string lesson to cover more ground each week.

Mondays – Thursdays from 1:30 – 8:30 PM

INSTRUMENTS
Investing in a quality instrument is an important element in a student’s success. This will make the learning process more enjoyable. If you already have an instrument, please make sure it is in good repair. Orchestral stringed instruments can be rented or repaired at local area businesses. Contact the RSM office at 972-722-6874 for more details.
