FAQ
My child is only 3. Are they really ready for violin?
Yes! Ready Set Violin is designed for ages 3–6. Young children thrive in this playful, movement-based setting. They use box violins during class - everything is developmentally appropriate and rooted in joy.
We’re already so busy. How will this fit into our schedule?
That’s exactly why this is a one-week experience. With convenient class times, it builds confidence and curiosity without overwhelming your calendar or requiring a long-term commitment.
Will this still be worth it if my child doesn’t continue with violin?
Absolutely. Children grow in confidence, focus, coordination, and joy -skills that carry into everyday life, whether or not violin lessons are the next step.
Is this just a week of fun, or will my child really learn something?
It’s both. Through songs, games, and movement, children learn real violin foundations while building fine motor skills, confidence, and pride in what they can do.
Does my child need their own violin?
Nope! A Wee Violin (solid wood, weight appropriate violin) is provided.
What do adults do during class?
A grown up is required to be with their student during class and are invited to sing, move, and play with their student.
Can grandma, uncle, etc. bring the student to class?
We welcome any grownup who loves your child to join with them in this experience.
What additional materials do I have to bring?
Nada, Zilch, Zip. We have you covered with everything you'll need.
What about siblings? Can I bring them?
We love siblings. If they would like to participate in the class please register them as well. Younger siblings are welcome to sing or snuggle along.
