instrument. If that is established, you can discuss the instrument options with your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always keep in mind that your child must <strong>like the sound of the instrument<\/strong> s\/he wants to learn. Lessons and practice sessions can be disastrous if your child doesn\u2019t like the sound of the instrument. Try to find out which string instrument\u2019s sound is his\/her favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be a good idea to let your child frequently listen to the different string instruments before the final choice is made. If possible, take him to a <strong>concert or music school<\/strong> where he can see and hear the different instruments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, a child immediately favors a specific instrument, but if this isn\u2019t the case, let him explain if s\/he favors the <strong>higher and more cheerful violin<\/strong>, or the <strong>deeper and rich cello sound<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_challenges_for_a_child_learning_cello_and_violin\"><\/span>Physical challenges for a child learning cello and violin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/violin-for-a-child.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1325\" width=\"534\" height=\"281\" srcset=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/violin-for-a-child.jpg 627w, https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/violin-for-a-child-300x158.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 534px) 100vw, 534px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child\u2019s physical build and strength can have a decisive influence on whether it will be violin or cello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_challenges_of_the_cello\"><\/span>Physical challenges of the cello<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the cello, <strong>physical strength is required<\/strong> to get a good sound. You need <strong>upper body and right arm strength<\/strong> to produce the required different dynamics with the bow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the cello is in an <strong>almost vertical position<\/strong> when being played, the cellist has to use arm and hand strength to keep the bow in place on the strings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cellist\u2019s <strong>left hand <\/strong>also has to be strong to press hard on the strings. The left hand also has to <strong>stretch to cover the longer fingerboard<\/strong>. The longer your child\u2019s fingers, the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is also hard to play fast on a cello while keeping the sound controlled. This is due to the longer fingerboard and difficult bowing technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily, to make it easier for young children to master the techniques needed, cellos are available in smaller sizes.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you and your child have chosen the cello as the instrument to learn, your child must start learning on a cello fit for his length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To figure out what cello size is correct for your kid, the rule of thumb is to <strong>measure your child\u2019s back<\/strong> and match it to a specific cello&nbsp; size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cello size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Child\u2019s back measurement<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>One-eighth<\/td><td>17\u201d &#8211; 20\u201d&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarter<\/td><td>20\u201d &#8211; 23\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Half<\/td><td>23\u201d &#8211; 26\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Three-quarters<\/td><td>26\u201d &#8211; 28\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Seven-eighths<\/td><td>28\u201d- 30\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full<\/td><td>30\u201d and more<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Physical_challenges_of_the_violin\"><\/span>Physical challenges of the violin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The young violinist needs <strong>less physical strength<\/strong> to play than the cellist. As a result of the <strong>almost horizontal position<\/strong> the violin is held when being played, the violinist relies on <strong>gravity<\/strong> to give the bow the necessary weight to produce a sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with the cello, there are smaller violin sizes available for smaller children. Your child should start learning on a violin fit for the length of his arms. To determine the violin size, <strong>measure your child\u2019s arm<\/strong> from the neck up to the hand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Violin size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Child\u2019s arm measurement<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>One-eighth<\/td><td>16\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Quarter<\/td><td>18\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Half<\/td><td>20\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Three-quarters<\/td><td>22\u201d<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full<\/td><td>23\u201d and more<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also more sizes, but they are not used very often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Small_cellos_sound_better_than_small_violins\"><\/span>Small cellos sound better than small violins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the beginning, child cello learners generally enjoy the lessons and practice sessions more than the violin as they get a <strong>feeling of success<\/strong> much earlier. Even the smallest cello produces an acceptable sound from almost the first lesson, similar to the melancholy sound of a full sized cello.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A small size violin is too small for its acoustical range, so its sound is always softer and not like a full-size one. It also takes quite a long time before an acceptable, nice sound can be produced by a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_cello_or_violin_easier_to_learn_for_a_child\"><\/span>Is cello or violin easier to learn for a child?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cello-for-a-child.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1326\" width=\"566\" height=\"442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cello-for-a-child.jpg 640w, https:\/\/groovewiz.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/cello-for-a-child-300x234.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As both the cello and violin are string instruments, they have many similar characteristics and playing techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the cello and violin have <strong>no keys or marks<\/strong> to indicate where to place your finger on the string to produce a specific note. With both instruments, a child&#8217;s ears have to be trained to determine the correct pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On both the cello and the violin, It\u2019s also hard to <strong>master bow techniques<\/strong> with the right hand, while the left hand seeks to find the <strong>right harmonic positions<\/strong> on the strings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can take quite a long time to get used to two hands engaging in completely different types of movement simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the similarities, there are many differences between the two instruments which have to be discussed between you and your child. Some of the differences make it easier to learn the cello, while others make the violin the easier one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cello<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Violin<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Easily be kept in position with the endpin on the floor.<\/td><td>Instrument under the chin feels awkward at first.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Natural position to hold the instrument.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><td>Less natural position to hold the violin.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bow playing needs a strong right arm.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><td>Bow utilizes gravity to touch the strings.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>The neck is long and the left hand has to stretch.&nbsp;<\/td><td>Shorter neck and&nbsp; the left hand\u2019s position is more natural.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>A \u201cforgiving\u201d instrument for beginners.<\/td><td>Less \u201cforgiving\u201d instrument for young beginners.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Advanced cellists, generally, learn three clefs.<\/td><td>violinists only need to learn one clef.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>More complex fingering.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td><td>Less complex fingering.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Generally, children start at age 6-7 with lessons.<\/td><td>Many children start with lessons when younger than 6.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Can play the melody and other voices in ensembles.<\/td><td>Generally, plays only the melody part in an ensemble.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Such differences might make one instrument more attractive to start with than the other. But in the end, your child\u2019s preference should to a great extent be the deciding factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Opportunities_for_cello_and_violin_child_players_to_make_music_with_others\"><\/span>Opportunities for cello and violin child players to make music with others<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your child has reached a certain standard as violin or cello player, there are many opportunities in most cities and towns to participate in youth ensembles and orchestras. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are generally only 12 cellos in a symphony orchestra, <strong>cellists are always in demand<\/strong> as not so many children are playing the cello.  While more children are playing the violin, there are 30 to 40 violins in an orchestra. Whether your child is a violinist or cellist, there will be opportunities to play with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the young violinist and cellist enhance their playing skills by making music with others. Right at the beginning, most teachers put small string ensembles together where every beginner plays a short section or few notes to get the satisfaction of being part of a larger group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These ensembles give <strong>direction and purpose<\/strong> even for the beginner and make lessons and practice sessions more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As your child\u2019s playing ability increases, you can approach <strong>churches or community groups<\/strong> to find out whether small ensembles are needing permanent or ad-hoc players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cello_or_violin_for_a_child_other_aspects_to_consider\"><\/span>Cello or violin for a child: other aspects to consider<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also a few non-musical aspects to consider when trying to decide between the violin or the cello for your child.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cello_vs_violin_size_weight_and_transport\"><\/span>Cello vs violin size, weight, and transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cellos, even the smaller versions, are bulky instruments with bulky cases. They are not so heavy &#8211; since they have a hollow body &#8211; but are difficult to transport. Many car trunks are too small to accommodate a cello case.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Carrying a cello when walking or taking a bus to school is also a hassle &#8211; children often hate taking lugging their cello to school.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The violin is a lot more portable. The child can easily carry it around and take it to lessons and school. Unlike a cello, you can take a violin as hand luggage on a flight.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_of_cello_vs_violin_for_a_child\"><\/span>Cost of cello vs violin for a child<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, the cello is a more expensive instrument to purchase and to maintain. On average a good violin is cheaper to purchase than a cello.&nbsp; If you need to replace the bow or strings, the cello\u2019s accessories are also more expensive than the violin\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give you an indication of price differences, the following table show some of the lowest prices in the US:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Size<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Violin<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Cello<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full<\/td><td>$280<\/td><td>$1,250<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00be&nbsp;<\/td><td>$270<\/td><td>$1,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\u00bd&nbsp;<\/td><td>$260<\/td><td>$720<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bow<\/td><td>$20<\/td><td>$25<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Set of strings<\/td><td>$20<\/td><td>$30<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Instruments for professionals are much more expensive, but the differences in percentage between violin and cello are generally comparable to the above. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should typically avoid purchasing the smaller sizes for your chosen instrument since your child will \u201coutgrow\u201d it and you&#8217;ll soon end up having to buy the next size. Most music schools and music shops have systems in place where you can rent the smaller instruments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here again, renting a cello rent generally is costlier than a violin. You can rent a \u00be-violin from <strong>$15 per month<\/strong>, while a \u00be-cello will cost you anything from <strong>$35 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">***<br><em>Photo credits:<br><\/em>Featured image: <br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/dcoetzee\/3623801667\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Child street performer with violin 1<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/publicdomain\/zero\/1.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">Public Domain<\/a>)\u00a0by\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/dcoetzee\/\" target=\"_blank\">D Coetzee<\/a><br>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/stevensnodgrass\/3503684445\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\u2019Cello Beginner<\/a>&#8221;\u00a0(<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)\u00a0by\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/people\/stevensnodgrass\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Snodgrass<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your child has indicated that he would like to learn a string instrument and is considering either the violin or the cello.
