Questions parents ask
Can I get music lessons and an instrument in one place?
Yes. Grow With Ritz combines weekly lessons at our Richmond studio with a rented instrument in the right size. We arrange the lessons and size swaps as your child grows.
How much do violin lessons cost in Richmond?
At Ritz Music Studio, weekly 30-minute lessons are £160 a month on our standard subscription. Grow With Ritz lessons are £150 a month; violin rental through Normans is £10.00 a month.
Do I need to buy an instrument for my child's lessons?
No. With Grow With Ritz, your child rents an instrument in the right size as part of their membership, so there's no large upfront cost for an instrument they'll soon outgrow.
What size violin does a 6-year-old need?
Most young beginners start on a small fractional size such as 1/8 or 1/4, but it depends on the child's height and arm length rather than age alone. Your teacher will check the right size at the assessment lesson.
What happens when my child outgrows their instrument?
Size swaps are arranged through Normans. Ask the Ritz team and they will point you to the right size and the swap process.
What age can children start music lessons at Ritz?
