You have the right idea. Starting with lessons.
Contact the teacher and ask for help. The teacher may have a student who is upgrading.
$300 is about what you should expect to pay for a beginners outfit.
There are hundreds of brands. I have had good results with students purchasing from Shar Music. You can also rent instruments from them
Both of my daughters were very interested in playing the violin. Being beginners, I chose to rent the violins rather than buying. Some music stores will even apply your rental towards ownership if you do decide to purchase. My suggestion is to rent first and then think about buying when you’re concert ready.
