The Mannington Music School usually starts students in private lessons at 8 years old, around 2nd or 3rd grade.

However, for students ages 4 to 7 who are currently enrolled in our Musical Explorer program, we offer special pricing on Suzuki violin lessons. The student must remain enrolled in the Musical Explorer program to be eligible for private violin lessons.

It’s never too late to enjoy music. It’s really not about how old you are, it’s about your level of commitment. The progress that you make is directly related to the amount of effort you put in.

The Mannington Music School provides violins to our Kindermusik students taking the violin add-on. We do not have rental instruments for students in private study. We recommend Coles Music Service in Sewell, NJ for long-term rentals.

Unlike many instruments, violins come in many sizes. It is important to get the correct size violin for the player. If a student is young and growing rapidly, it will be more economical to rent a violin. Usually rental companies allow you to “size up” as the child grows.

We highly recommend Shar Music online for all of your instrument and accessory needs.

A student should aim to practice 20-30 minutes a day. The more time you put into playing at home, the faster progress you will see.

One 30-minute lessons costs $25. You will receive one lesson every week. Lessons are billed monthly and pre-paid by the first of every month.
