New Page 1 Our quality wooden violins are perfect for beginners. The violin is also a good introduction to the world of musical instruments. All our violins come a range of sizes (see chart below) and come complete with a carry case, bow and rosin. Albert Einstein’s fifth grade teacher told his parents that he was ‘stupid’ and incapable of learning. Albert had demonstrated an inability to take tests and to get passing grades. His teacher recommended they place Albert in a workhouse. Sometime later, he began to study the violin. Years later Albert credited his genius to the violin. Whenever he would get stumped while working on a formula, the answer would come to him while playing his violin. Kids and violins on the surface don't sound like a good mix, but the violin is actually a practical instrument with several benefits for even very young children. The violin is preferable to other instruments for kids for several reasons: Portability: The violin is one of the most portable instruments around, being small and compact and needing no amplifiers, microphones or attachments. A violin can be carried in a small case by even a very young child. Try that with a guitar or a piano. Sizing: The violin comes in several different sizes, with very small sizes to fit the youngest students. This is an instrument that can be replaced as kids grow, instead of a one-size-fits-all instrument that a child might have a hard time handling. Sound volume: As strange as it sounds, the screeching noise of a kid learning the violin is actually not that bad. It is quieter than drums and other large instruments, and it is less annoying than the flute. Cost: The high cost of some instruments make them serious investments, and may make parents nervous about letting kids learn on them. Even a small piano is quite costly, as are cellos, tubas, saxophones, etc. A violin is much less expensive than most other instruments. Music reading: If the main goal of music lessons is to teach your child to read music, a violin is ideal. Violins have only four strings, making them easier to learn than a guitar. The few notes, once learned, teach the child the basics of reading notes and music symbols that later be applied to other instruments. Responsibility: The small size of the violin means that a child can be responsible for it. Even a child in the early elementary years should be able to take care of the violin, put it away, and retrieve it for lessons. This is a lesson in responsibility that would not occur if the instrument was larger and had to be handled and taken care of by adults. The violin is kind of like a goldfish that can't die if the child doesn't feed it. What Size Is Right For My Child? Arm Length Approximate Age Violin Size 14” – 16” 3 – 5 Years 1/16 16” – 18” 4 – 6 Years 1/8 18” – 20” 5 – 8 Years 1/4 20” – 22” 6 – 10 Years 1/2 22” – 24” 8 – 11 Years 3/4 24” & Over 9 Years - Adult 4/4 To measure what size violin best suits you, you need to know the length between your neck and the middle of your left-hand palm (when your hand is fully extended and raised perpendicular to your body, just like holding a violin). Some teachers prefer students to use the length from the neck to the wrist for measurement instead of the neck to mid-palm approach. The violin size determined by the neck/wrist approach would be the size that is more comfortable for students to hold. The violin size determined by the neck/mid-palm approach would be the biggest size students should use. If you have a teacher, you should ask for your teacher's recommendation. If you don't have a teacher, we would recommend using the neck/wrist approach for students not using full size. For students who are deciding whether to used 3/4 or 4/4 size, use the neck/mid-palm approach. This is because it is always better that student’s feel comfortable holding and playing the violin.
