Always important to have properly fitting tools!!

Has your student grown? If your student currently plays a string instrument and has grown over the last year, we can check to see if they need to size up their instrument!

A good indicator they will need a larger instrument is if they have gone up 1-2 shoe sizes since the last time they were in the shop. If you are unsure, we have experienced staff that can check the instrument fit for you at any time.

If you are unable to bring your student with you and a teacher has not told you what size instrument you need, the blog below can help. The best option is to bring your student with you, but we understand that is not always possible.

Thanks to our excellent staff member, Alexis, for showing how an instrument should NOT fit 😉

>Mondays-Fridays: 11 AM - 7 PM

School is right around the corner! If you have ever wondered about adding more time to your lesson slot, now is a great time to do so before schedules start to solidify! Check out the graphic to see how adding time affects lessons. I have many students who enjoy 45-minute lessons.

If you are looking for Violin, Viola, or Gutiar/Bass lessons in the KC metro area, comment "lessons" and I will send you a link to my inquiry form! I teach in two locations in the metro and would love to help you reach your musical goals!

WOW, it's really hot today. Please make sure to stay as cool as possible, stay in the shade/indoors, don't forget about pets when you let them out, and overall stay hydrated!

And a great moment to remind us, classical string musicians and students. NEVER LEAVE YOUR INSTRUMENT IN THE CAR, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF EXTREME TEMPERATURES!

Please never leave your instrument in the car! A great PSA.

The unofficial Summer Bach Bash at MTS has been working wonders on my viola studio's technique. One of the best parts has been the students genuine interest and hunger for the music. 🎻
