The violin, often called the fiddle, is a great beginning instrument. Students will develop their musical ear and technique with the Suzuki series and music reading skills with the Essential Elements series.
The viola resembles the violin but has a richer, warmer, and more mellow sound. The viola plays the counter melody or harmony in the symphony. It fits in between the violin and cello parts. Often students begin on violin and later transition to viola.
The cello is even deeper, richer, and warmer than the viola. This is like the tenor voice of a choir. It’s very large, and is played with the child seated, holding the instrument upright with the bottom resting on the floor. They make child sized cellos for young beginners just getting started.
Double Bass Lessons
The double bass is the largest, lowest-string instrument. This is usually played standing. Students typically begin on cello before transitioning to double bass. This instrument plays the cool walking bass part in a jazz ensemble.
