1. violin- violins come in different sizes to fit your child. Here is a link to help you determine the right size. https://www.childrensmusicworkshop.com/instruments/violin/violinsizingguide/ You can rent from your local music store, or purchase one (this one from Amazon has everything you need, but you will need to set it up. There is an instructional video to show you how. https://www.amazon.com/Eastar-Beginners-Students-Imprinted-Fingerboard/dp/B08199SVYK/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=violin&qid=1616201144&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&smid=A1PZPD3QI86H0M&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFNWVFBT1kxSk1SM0wmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA5ODYwNzAyWU5WMk1VOFlNT08zJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAwOTk3MzQxRDFSMVNYVU82NE02JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== 2. bow- usually comes along with your violin 3. rosin- usually comes with your violin. If not, this is what I recommend: https://www.childrensmusicworkshop.com/instruments/violin/violinsizingguide/ 4. shoulder rest- No need for something expensive. You can use a thick sponge and rubber bands, or order this: Here is the sponge one that I recommend.https://www.amazon.com/Players-Economy-Foam-Violin-Shoulder/dp/B000EEJ8V4/ref=sr_1_57?dchild=1&keywords=violin+shoulder+rest&qid=1616201727&sr=8-57 or: If you want to get a fancy one, get a KUN. The imitation ones that are cheaper tend to fall off more easily. 5. Finger Board Tape: Get one to fit your child's violin size. This is a full size, you will need a smaller one. https://www.amazon.com/Dont-Fret-FF121-Beginners-Fingering/dp/B00557KN28/ref=sr_1_28?crid=299GW8HCQV3H&keywords=violin+fingerboard+tape&qid=1657587506&sprefix=violin+fingerboard+tape%2Caps%2C325&sr=8-28 If you have any questions about this information, please don't hesitate to ask! I will provide you with all the music needed in download format when camp time gets closer!
I will send all necessary music and information to the parents in  an easily downloadable and printable e format.
