Our Story

Hey there, and welcome to KidStrings Box!

I’m Jen Wiggin, and I’m a proud mother of two teens and a sweet rescue dog. I teach orchestra students in grades 3 to 12, and also have my own violin and viola private studio here in Atlanta, Georgia.

From experience teaching each day for the past several years, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to learn any musical instrument, much less one like the violin. There are so many tiny but important details involved in just holding the instrument correctly. Often students give up too quickly, before it gets really fun!

I also know that it can be difficult for parents to find the best ways to support their child in learning a string instrument, especially when many never played an instrument themselves. Short of the local violin shop or classroom teacher, there aren’t many reliable online resources for kids.

And that’s why we created KidStrings Box.

You can rest assured that all the items in our boxes were personally tested and approved by experienced string teachers, and each item is carefully curated to meet the highest standards in quality. We stay updated on all the new innovations in string pedagogy, and are constantly searching out new suppliers of products and accessories to bring the learning to life. And we personally arrange each and every piece of music and technique exercises to match each instrument’s specific challenges.

So whether your student is studying privately, or in school, or on their own, it’s our mission to be THE trusted monthly resource for skill- and age-appropriate string music, exercises, accessories and just plain fun stuff that kids totally dig! And along the way, they’ll discover treasured music old and new, learn the fascinating history and facts behind it, read about real-life string players, and get helpful tips and tricks to improve.

Our boxes are perfect for gifting or monthly subscriptions, and we guarantee they will be hours of fun. All delivered right to your door.

Please feel free to email us with any questions or concerns. We’d love to hear from you.

Happy Playing!

"KidStrings Box gets a standing ovation! The box was so nicely and creatively put together, bursting with all sorts of fun and interesting items. The skills and techniques page has really given my son structure in his daily practice, and he was so excited to get the violin tuner that was just like what his teacher uses."

"I loved it! My favorite part was the lessons. The violin lessons were not too hard to follow, but they were not very easy either."
