What's the lesson structure like? Lessons are conducted weekly on the same day of every month. There will be four lessons per month and no lessons on the fifth week (Reserved for make up lessons). Lesson as usual on most public holidays. What is the duration of each lesson? The duration of the standard lessons varies with the student’s attention span (30 to 45 minutes). For special courses, the duration would be longer. How much do I charge? Lessons are charged on a monthly basis for four lessons. The lesson fee varies for individuals as every student has different music background and requirements for the lessons. It also varies on the location. Must I buy a violin for my lessons? It is highly recommended for students to own a violin suitable for his/her build so that he/she can practice more often. Violin comes in different grades and sizes. You should be able to get a student violin at less than $200. If you feel that it is too expensive, feel free to contact me for alternatives. What else do I need? Although shoulder rests are actually optional, beginners are strongly recommended to get a shoulder rest (matching size for the violin) to correct his/her posture. Other than that, I would recommend my student to have a progress book. This is to allow the student to check what to practice and the overall progress of his/her course. Students are also expected to purchase necessary books for his/her syllabus. Leisure students are required to have a clear folder. Students can also get the music stand and violin tuner if they feel that it is necessary. Any enquires on Lessons or Events? Feel free to reach me at violin@xmail.net
