STRINGS THAT CONNECT GENERATIONS

The violin is one of the most challenging—but also one of the most rewarding—musical instruments. At the Music Education Centre, we welcome students of all ages and levels, from absolute beginners to more advanced players.
For younger students, we recommend starting one-on-one violin lessons from around age 7½, when they’re developmentally ready to gain the most from the experience.
Learning violin with us supports more than just musical growth—it also nurtures memory, attention, reading, and language skills. Parents often tell us they notice big improvements in their child’s confidence, focus, and academic progress.
With a wide team of experienced teachers, each with their own areas of expertise, we ensure every student is matched with the right tutor to support their unique learning journey.
Our students gain more than just music skills—they develop discipline, self-esteem, and a lasting love of learning, all in a supportive and inspiring environment.

TIPS FOR THE PARENTS OF CHILDREN TAKING VIOLIN LESSONS IN AUCKLAND

You’ve booked your child in for violin lessons in our Auckland music school – that’s a great first step to help your child on their journey with music. You will now probably want to make sure your child gets as much from the experience of learning the violin as possible.

The following tips will help. They come from our teachers who have extensive experience giving violin lessons to children of varying ages in Auckland.

Tip 1 – We’re always here if you need advice.

At The Music Education Centre, we believe that teaching your child an instrument is a partnership between parent and teacher. As a result, your child’s teacher – and the rest of our staff – are here to help if you need support or have any questions. Please don’t hesitate to ask.

Tip 2 – You don’t have to buy a violin straight away.

Your child doesn’t need their own violin right away, and they certainly don’t need a brand-new violin. You can rent a violin in the early stages as your child gets started with their violin lessons. This will keep initial costs down, it will help you budget, and it will let your child mature into the instrument before you decide to make a bigger purchase.

Tip 3 – Listen to the violin.

If you are not familiar with the violin, it can be a huge help if you spend some time listening to the instrument being played. You can do this by listening to a range of music genres, from classical music to rock and pop. You can then help your child spot violins being played in the music they are listening to, and it will give you a better appreciation of what they are playing for you.

Tip 4 – Make sure your child has space to practice.

Practicing between lessons is an important part of learning the violin. This doesn’t mean there needs to be arguments and shouting matches – positive encouragement is much more effective. One thing you can do that will be very helpful is to make sure your child has a good space to practice. This means somewhere where they have enough room and won’t be told to keep the noise down.
