Hi hi,


Can anyone advise what should I look out for when sourcing for a violin teacher?
Do I need to see their certificate or any proof that they are actually qualify to teach ?

Thank you

Dear Ramien Yew Jia Jun,


Understand you work for Yamaha and think highly of them. But that does not
give you any rights to denounce other service providers unless you have proofs
to substantiate your claims.

Thank you.

What is the current rate for violin lessons preparing for grade 1 exams?

My DS teacher is charging $150 for 4 lessons of 45 min if we travel to her place or $190 for 4 lessons of 45 min if she comes to our place.
Is this close to the market rate?

My girl is half an hour 1 to 1 volin lesson at the teacher's place. We pay $30 per session. Market rate is about $1 per min if you go to a music school for 1 to 1 session.

Thanks for information. So I guess we are within market rates.

Wish to find out more-


1. Must buy violin before start lesson? Honestly, I see it even more necessary to get a voilin before starting lesson as compared to getting a piano.

2. Is it important to get a good (read: expensive becos of its good quality) violin right from the start?

3. Is violin difficult to maintain? Need regular tuning? Expensive to maintain?

4. How soon do young children upsize their violin? What determines the size if violin - height of the kid?

Sharing will be much appreciated.
