Questions to settle before you choose
Does the school teach your chosen instrument (violin, viola, cello or bass) at your level?
What is the lesson duration, frequency and format (private or group)?
What is the full fee per term or per lesson, including registration and any material charges?
Is a trial lesson available, and what does it cost?
Does the student need their own instrument, or can one be provided or rented for lessons?
What is the make-up policy if a lesson is missed, and how far in advance must you cancel?
What to check before choosing a violin or strings school
Start with the instrument, the student's age or level, and the location. These five schools publish different instrument ranges, lesson formats (private or group), fee structures and programme tiers. Compare the instrument and format that match your needs, the location, and the published fees or trial process before booking.
Instrument range and format differ by school
The useful comparison is the student’s instrument, entry stage and lesson route. Bowed Strings lists violin and cello with private lessons and adult entry classes. Stradivari lists additional string instruments and a retail shop. Aureus and Cristofori place violin within multi-instrument course menus; Wolfgang lists violin, cello and piano programmes. A school listing several instruments does not establish that the same teacher, time slot or branch covers all of them.
Questions to ask before enrolling
Does the school offer a trial lesson, and what does it cost?
What is the lesson fee for your instrument, level and duration?
Is the lesson one-to-one, or are group options available?
Does the school prepare students for ABRSM or other graded exams?
Do you need your own instrument, or can the school provide one for early lessons?
What is the make-up or rescheduling policy if you miss a session?
What is the commitment structure: per lesson, per term, or per package?
