When I was younger I wanted to learn to play violin, and I learned a bit when I joined the school symphony. When my kid gets older, I plan on giving her an opportunity that I never had, to start playing young, and give her the opportunity to get private violin lessons. A great place to start would be VideoViolinLessons.com, this is a private lesson place that teaches how to play the violin or the viola. What is interesting is following the end of each academic year, students are challenged by participating in a solo performance at the Academy’s annual Violin/Viola Recital and Awards Ceremony! Wouldn’t that be fun to see your little violinist do a solo performance? Learning an insturment is great for anyone, young or old. Check out the site for more info!
