At Mills Music, we are committed to supporting music education in our local schools. Music performance helps our children learn teamwork, a keen sense of responsibility and self-discipline. Student musicians gain self-assurance and self confidence, and develop qualities and attitudes that stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. No area of study does more than music performance to promote the total growth of our children. Music is basic to their education.
Whether you decide to rent or purchase an instrument, Mills Music will help you in your decision process. You can be assured that the instrument you buy or rent will be acceptable to your music director. Our stringed instruments of the orchestra and accessories are the best available for the student musician.
Violin
The smallest of
the stringed instruments, the violin has a high, sweet voice. It is
one of the most important instruments in the orchestra. |
Viola
Because the viola
is slightly larger than the violin, it has a lower voice. The viola
is the "alto" voice of the orchestra and sounds more mellow than
the violin. |
Cello
Because it is much
larger than both the violin and viola, it has an even lower voice.
It adds richness and depth to the sound of the orchestra.

String Bass
The string
bass is taller than the people who play it. It's a giant violin with
a deep, mellow voice ... even deeper than the cello.
