Frequently asked questions
General
I recommend renting or buying a student violin from a local music store such as Micelli Violins (https://micelliviolins.com/)(Highland), Summerhays Music (https://www.summerhaysmusic.com/pages/band-orchestra-rentals)(Orem/Murray), or Burt Murdock Music (https://www.bertmurdockmusic.com/categories/Rentals-3505.html)(Orem). They’ll size the violin correctly and make it easy to upgrade as your child grows. Rentals are convenient, and rental payments can often be applied toward purchasing a full-size violin later.
I generally advise against buying a violin from KSL/Facebook marketplace without guidance, as it can be hard to judge the quality, and repairs can be expensive. If you do consider buying a used violin from a classifieds site, it’s best to have someone experienced inspect it first.
Renting is often the simplest way to start — it’s easy to return if your child decides it’s not for them, and if they love it, you can purchase it later.

Suzuki Violin Book 1
Listening to these songs is SO important. You can buy the book that comes with a CD of the audio, or you can purchase the book without the CD. The audio is available on Spotify, Apple music, and Amazon music.
