A Simple Way to Support Your Students — and Be Thanked for It

At D Z Strad Violin Shop, we work closely with private teachers and school educators to help students find instruments they can succeed with. When you recommend D Z Strad to your students, we make the process easy, transparent, and rewarding.

We recognize the lengths to which many teachers go, helping their students find the appropriate instrument or bow. Their often unpaid services, such as helping students by coming to the shop to try our inventory, by calling on the phone to discuss options, or giving unpaid lesson time to consider choices may be a considerable commitment for them.  We try to give our best service to teachers and their students. If it is clear to us that a teacher has gone out of their way to help a student, then we will give a gift of anywhere between $25 to $500 in the form of a visa gift card to that teacher. We are extremely grateful to all music teachers whether they work at D Z Strad or not and want to show our appreciation.

Our Teacher Gift Program is designed as a professional thank-you for the time, care, and guidance teachers provide—not a sales commission or obligation.

How the Teacher Gift Program Works

When you recommend D Z Strad to a student or family:

1. The student purchases or rents an instrument directly from D Z Strad
2. We handle sizing, setup, shipping, and ongoing support
3. You receive a thank-you gift card valued between $25 and $500, depending on the instrument purchased or rented

There is no minimum requirement, no obligation, and no pressure—just a simple way to support your students while being recognized for your role in their success.

A Program Built for Teachers — Not Sales

We designed this program to respect the teacher-student relationship.

• Teachers are never required to promote specific products
• Students are never pressured to purchase
• Gift cards are issued as a courtesy, not a commission
• You remain fully independent in your recommendations

Our focus is long-term trust, not one-time transactions.

Why Teachers Refer Students to D Z Strad

Teachers choose to recommend D Z Strad because we take care of their students the right way:

• Properly set-up, student-ready instruments
• Honest guidance on sizing and level
• Education-friendly pricing and flexible payment options
• Reliable support if adjustments or exchanges are needed

When students start with the right instrument, lessons go better—and teachers notice the difference immediately.

A Meaningful Thank-You

Teachers enrolled in our program receive gift cards ranging from $25 to $250 as a thank-you for successful referrals. The exact amount is based on the student’s instrument purchase or rental and is issued directly to the teacher.

There’s no tracking hassle—we handle everything clearly and professionally.
