We’re excited to spotlight one of our website sponsors – Ginger Howard and her Violin / Viola Studio and lessons. Be sure to touch base with Ginger about how she can help you or someone in your family with their lessons this year! Sponsor Spotlight: Ginger Howard Violin / Viola Studio Ginger Howard offers private violin & viola lessons to the Cumming & Forsyth County area – and to several of our Cumming Local families! She recently shared some fun question & answers with us and we’re excited to share them with you today. As a private strings teacher, she is asked a lot about what to look for in a stringed instrument. Here are some of the questions she answers most … Question 1: How much should we spend on an instrument? Answer: I ALWAYS recommend renting if your student is a beginner. Many strings only stores have wonderful rental agreements. You can build credit the first year of renting towards buying your first instrument. Below I will answer why renting is usually your best option at the beginning. Question 2: Where should we go rent or buy an instrument? Answer: If you are looking for a stringed instrument, go to a strings only store. Here you will be working with people who are very knowledgeable in stringed instruments because that is only what they deal with. (It’s sort of like seeing your health specialist.) Yes, it can sometimes be a bit pricier, but you will more than likely get a better quality instrument, which can make a world of difference even for a beginner. If the instrument...
