Questions
What age can my child start?
Many children begin between ages 4 and 6, and older children and adults are always welcome. Ms. Nguyen will suggest a lesson length that suits the student's age and attention span.
Do I need my own violin?
Yes. Students practise at home between lessons, so each student needs a violin of the right size. If you are not sure which size to rent or buy, ask Ms. Nguyen before the first lesson.
How much practice is expected?
Short, regular practice works best. Beginners often start with 10 to 15 minutes a day, and Ms. Nguyen sets goals that fit each student.
Do you prepare students for RCM exams?
Yes. Ms. Nguyen is a registered teacher with the Royal Conservatory of Music and teaches all RCM levels. She also helps students prepare for youth orchestra auditions, competitions, festivals and performances.
