How to save on music lessons & instruments for kids?
My little niece would like to take violin lessons. My sister would like to get the lessons for her, but is looking for suggestions on how to do it as inexpensively as possible, because: 1) They have no way of knowing whether this is something my niece will continue to do or if it's just a passing fancy and 2) They don't have a lot for discretionary spending.
She's planning to look in to either renting a first violin, or buying one used (someplace like Craigslist).
If any parents, music teachers, musicians, or anyone else can offer suggestions, it would be very much appreciated! Any lesser-known places to buy used instruments cheaply? Any tips on getting a great deal on lessons?
Thanks!
