Beginner’s questions

What is the main difference between violin, viola, and cello?

Size and pitch. Violin is the highest and brightest. Viola is slightly larger, warmer, and deeper. Cello is much larger, with a rich, singing bass-tenor voice.

Which instrument is best for a beginner?

All three are great. Violin is popular for its melody. Viola suits thoughtful, warm-hearted players. Cello is perfect for those who love a deep, vocal sound. Age and size determine the best fit.

Can a violinist easily switch to viola or cello?

To viola — yes, fairly easily (different clef and slightly wider spacing). To cello — harder, because of the different position (between knees) and bow grip, but possible with good instruction.

Do I need to read music before starting lessons?

Not at all. We teach note reading from the very first lesson. You'll learn step by step, including treble, alto (viola), and bass (cello) clefs.
