VIOLIN, VIOLA AND CELLO LESSONS
(for ages five and up)
Whether you want to play classical, rock or country style, the learning process is customized for you! Beginner students can expect to work on simple songs, melodies, sight reading and theory. Your teacher will balance musicianship and fun by making sure that at each lesson you are challenged with a new technical or theory concept, but will always end with something fun such as your favorite song.
A violin or cello may be rented or purchased. If you are not sure, please consider those three key criteria:
-Your child needs an instrument size that is less than 4/4 (usually children 13 years old or younger)
-The dealer offers credits for upgrades in size, or on a future purchase
-Your child is uncertain about the instrument he or she wants to play.
Less expensive instruments sold on websites like eBay are generally lesser-quality instruments that can be extremely frustrating to play upon.
I will be happy to recommend a few quality violin and cello rental stores.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
HOW MUCH TIME DOES IT TAKE TO LEARN TO PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?
There's no fixed answer to that question. If you practice regularly, you can reach a basic level in a few months. Most of our students keep taking lessons for a while because they enjoy it and want to keep getting better.
IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO ASSIST MY CHILD WITH THEIR PRACTICE, EVEN IF I LACK A MUSICAL BACKGROUND OR SKILLS?
Absolutely. Despite not having a musical background, you can consult the teacher for guidance on how to support your child's practice. By ensuring they complete their daily exercises and occasionally observing their music lessons, you can help them make progress. This way, you can gain insight into how a song should sound and how your child should position their hands.
WHAT WILL I LEARN DURING MY VIOLIN OR CELLO LESSONS?
That question is often asked by prospective students. WE make it a priority to get to know you on a personal level and to become familiar with your personal musical needs and goals.
We do not treat every student the same in terms of what and how we teach.
A seven year old having their first violin lesson will have very different needs than a fifty seven year old taking up piano for the 2nd time after having had lessons as a child.
The main reason to choose Westmont Music Academy as your music lesson provider, is that we are sensitive to the fact that every student is an individual.
If you enroll here for lessons, we will work with you to make a plan that will fit your needs and musical preferences. At the first lesson, your teacher will ask you about your favorite type of music, and set goals to help accomplish whatever musical aspirations you have for yourself or your child.
WHAT STYLES OF MUSIC DO YOU TEACH?
We teach all styles from rock, pop, jazz, country, to blues and classical.
ARE YOUR VIOLIN INSTRUCTORS QUALIFIED?
Our string teachers have received their education from respectable institutions in the US such as Roosevelt University, De Paul University, Columbia College of Music, Judson University, University of Minnesota, and also in universities across the world. Some of our instructors have gone on performance tours of the US and Europe, all which have many years of professional performance and teaching experience. In addition to their teaching credentials, our teachers have warm personalities, are extremely friendly and strive to get to know each student and their parent on a personal level.
ARE THERE MUSIC RECITALS?
Absolutely! Every January and June we provide recitals in a professional recital hall for our students to perform. There are no admission fees so you can invite as many family and friends as you want to attend the recital for free.
