Violin Rental

IT'S GETTING EXCITING! IT'S ALMOST VIOLIN TIME FOR FALL!  


Parents, please make an appointment with Mel at Sapp Violins for any time frame after August 8th. She is fantastic and will do a custom fit of the violin for your child. She explains the violin to your child and how to care for it. 

It is a FUN appointment! I promise,this will be the best 25 minute ride to get a high quality violin that will make your child sound fantastic on the violin. 

WHO: Sapp Violins 

WHERE: 1880 E Fabyan Pkwy, Batavia, IL 60510

WHEN: Call now to make an appointment time any time after August 8th 

CONTACT: 630-906-0244 (Ask for Mel)


Why Sapp?

A violin shop is the best place to get a high quality rental that will allow your child to sound the bast.  Gregory Sapp is known as a master for repair and restoration.  Please do not buy a violin on Amazon or go to a basic music store! Your child is growing and will outgrow the instrument.  Secondly, this will be a hunk of junk and will make it hard for your child to play properly!  

Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I will be contacted all families in August as well!

Nurtured by Love

If you are interested in beginning violin, if you already play, or if you are a parent or individual looking to be inspired, I would suggest reading the book Nurtured by Love by Shin’ichi Suzuki. It is a wonderful read to learn about the philosophy of the Suzuki Method, more about Suzuki's history and how you can apply it to your daily life.  The Suzuki Method really embraces the family and parent participation is an integral part of Suzuki lessons.


Suzuki's method is based on the idea of the "Mother Tongue" that each child can learn their own language from age zero. He created a philosophy called Talent Education which included beginning early, listening, repetition, learning with other children, parental support in the process and lots of loving encouragement.    Parents attend every lesson and first learn how to play the violin and then actively help their child in home practice with instruction from the teacher . You will come out of the lesson with specifics on how you can help your child.  In addition to weekly lessons, students attend group lessons to experience playing and learning with other students. Parents are part of a community of people to help support one another.  We have fun together too with group pizza night's, parent's hour, and other fun activities to support and grow together! 


As you can briefly see, this way of learning an instrument is joyous, nurturing and highly parent involved. With this triangle of parent, student, teacher, we can all grow together to nurture the child. 


This is a little "taste" of what a wonderful journey Suzuki violin can be.  Suzuki believed we are not just playing an instrument, we are nurturing the child and ourselves to become better human beings. WOW!


Feel free to reach me on Facebook also at Twinkle Star Studio about lessons. I would love to meet with you.


Keep Listening!
