What you will need:
I suggest doing business with Shar Music (www.sharmusic.com)
or The Violin Shoppe on West Main St. in Murfreesboro, or the Music and Arts Center near the near hospital.
1.fitted violin outfit (should come with bow, rosin and case)
2.KUN chin rest (my preferred brand) or a foam chin rest attached with rubber band
3.Suzuki Violin Volume 1 Book with CD.
Finding the right size:
With violin on left shoulder, snug to neck, arm extended, the end of the violin (scroll) should come to base of palm, i.e. wrist. The violin is too large if it hits the middle of the palm.
I recommend Sharmusic.com for all of your needs.
