Before you start lessons, you may want to get an instrument. However, it is much better to consult with your new teacher first to get their advice on where to go and what to get.

When your child begins their musical journey at SoCal String Studio, I will meet with you in person at our local violin shop, Morey’s Music, so that I can size your child properly and help you decide whether renting or purchasing an instrument makes the most sense for your family. As your child grows both physically and musically, their needs will change and we will return to size up or upgrade the quality of their instrument. Each step of the way I like to be there with my students to guide them through the selection process and make sure that they get the perfect instrument for them!
