Supporting You, Your Students, and Your Program
At Stearns Violins, we know that a music teacher’s job doesn’t end when the baton drops. You are a mentor, an advisor, and often the first person a parent turns to when an instrument fails or a student is ready to level up.
We believe that a strong partnership between the luthier and the educator is the foundation of a successful string program. Here is how we support you and your studio.
Benefits for Your Students
A student is only as good as their instrument allows them to be. We ensure your students are set up for success from day one:
- Professional Setup: Every rental is hand-adjusted in our shop to ensure ease of play and tonal clarity.
- Affordable Quality: Our tiered rental program (Conductor’s Choice & Economy) fits every family’s budget without sacrificing quality.
- On-Site Service: We offer weekly school visits for instrument pickup and delivery, saving your busy parents a trip to the shop.
Benefits for Your Program
We are committed to being an active resource for local music programs and private studios.
- Teacher Referral Credit: For every family that mentions your name or school when starting a rental, we provide store credit back to your program. This can be used for classroom supplies, emergency repairs, or accessories.
- Rental Nights & Fittings: We are available to attend your school’s rental nights to assist with sizing and paperwork, ensuring your students start the year with the right gear.
- Classroom Workshops: Rob and the team are happy to visit your classroom to give “Instrument Care 101” talks or answer student questions about the craft of violin making.
Benefits for You (The Professional)
Your personal instruments deserve the highest level of care. We offer specialized support for educators:
- Priority Professional Repair: We understand that you can’t teach without your “voice.” We offer expedited turnaround times for teachers’ personal instruments and bows.
- Exclusive Professional Discounts: Teachers receive special pricing on personal sheet music, accessories, and routine maintenance.
- Studio Referrals: We frequently have parents ask for local teacher recommendations. We maintain a list of preferred instructors to help grow your private studio.
Let’s Work Together
We aren’t a big-box retailer—we are local craftsmen who care about the future of music in our community. We would love to chat about how we can specifically tailor our services to support your unique goals this year.
