FAQs:
REMEMBER, YOU'LL BE RECEIVING:
"I don't have any musical background. Can I still help my child succeed?" ​ Absolutely! Many parents have no musical experience when they start. TheYoung Strings program is designed for parents to learn alongside their children. You'll receive guidance, support, and all the tools you need to help your child learn to play the violin and thrive in music.
"Is this a big time commitment for our family?"Â We've designed this program to be convenient and manageable. One weekly private lesson at a time that works for you, plus two Saturday group classes per month. Home practice is encouraged but kept age-appropriate and fun.
"What if my child loses interest or isn't ready?" Â That's exactly why we offer our guarantee! If after six weeks you don't see the joy and confidence we promise, you can be released from your yearly agreement, no questions asked. We also give you so many ideas and support that you can try different things until you find the sweet spot for learning music the way your family needs to so its not one way and done but lets keep trying until we find what works for you.
"Is the money worth the investment?"Â You're receiving 36 private lessons plus 20 group events - that's 56 total learning experiences, plus all materials, performance opportunities, and community events. Most families find this exceptional value for such comprehensive musical education.
"My child is very young. Will they really learn to play an instrument?" Â Yes! Within 6 weeks, your child will play their first song well enough to perform for family. Within 3 months, they'll have many songs they can play. The Young Strings program is specifically designed for the youngest children.
