Although having a real piano is the ideal, we do not recommend you invest in buying one right away, especially if it is for a young child. It is much cheaper and adequate to use and electronic portable keyboard. The MUST HAVE features:

• At least 61 keys
• Keyboard needs to be TOUCH SENSITIVE or have TOUCH RESPONSE. This means you can produce louder of softer sounds depending on how hard you press the keys.

You most likely will need a keyboard stand or bench to place the keyboard on. This will need to be height adjustable so your hands will have the proper position, about 90 degrees at the elbow.

Prices range from under $100 to $300

Brands: Yamaha, Casio and others as long as they satisfy the 2 features.

To choose a violin it is best to visit a music store in person. Especially children since they will need different violin sizes depending on age and their height. The experts in the store will be able to measure your arm length to determine the violin size needed. Here is a rough break down of the ages and matching sizes:

Violin Size - Age
1/4 - 5-7 years old
1/2 - 6-10
3/4 - 9-11
Full - 12- Adult

You will also need these items that you could order online or music store close to you:

• Shoulder rest that will be adjusted for the violin size you have.
• Music stand you could get at the store or online.

Just as with piano, and especially if this is for a child it is best to rent first, to make sure the child enjoys is and wants to continue studying. Most stores will offer to have the rent fees count towards the purchase of the instrument at any time.

We believe learning how to play an instrument is enriching and benefiting you at any age: it is never too late or too early! Besides the mental benefits, learning music is fun and good for the soul.

The reality is that playing an instrument is not always a “piece of cake”. This is why we emphasize the basics:

  - Learning the correct techniques and how to practice effectively so you enjoy it and progress easily.
  - Learning how to read the music notes so you become self-sufficient in learning new pieces. In other words you become music literate, just as you can read a book.
  - Learning how to keep the timing. Having a solid understanding and developing the feel for rhythm (a little math goes a long way here!)
  - Learning how to play expressively: music is not just a string of sounds you make on an instrument, your own feelings come forth when you play an instrument only if you know how to translate them into the music and you have the technique that allows it.
