Good to know
Things parents ask us first
Set-up before speed
Posture, bow hold and left-hand frame determine tone and intonation for years. Rushing past the foundation creates habits that are slow and frustrating to undo later.
Grade 5 Theory is a real gate
ABRSM requires a Grade 5 Theory pass before Grades 6–8 practical. Plan theory alongside violin so the practical pathway is not blocked at Grade 6.
Grades support DSA and school music
A solid ABRSM or Trinity grade strengthens a Direct School Admission music profile and school orchestra or music-elective entry — a concrete, recognised credential.
Right-sized instrument matters
Young children need a fractional-size violin matched to arm length. We advise on renting or buying the correct size before lessons begin.
