If you broke a string while tuning, don't worry! This is common, especially for newer violinists. If this happened before your lesson, we strongly recommend still attending your lesson (even if it's your first one!). It will be a great learning opportunity for you. To replace a string you may go to a local violin shop, or you can do it yourself.

Below is a link with very detailed instructions on how to replace your strings.
