EQUIPMENT and SUPPLIESStudents are required to provide their own instrument.
Students should clean, oil and/or grease their instrument regularly. They must also provide supplies for their instrument, such as valve oil, slide grease, cork grease, reeds, neck straps, mallets, etc. to use on the instruments both at home and at school. These items are NOT available at school. Students are responsible for purchasing these items on their own from a music store.

STEP UP INSTRUMENTS!
After a year or two of playing, many students begin to get more serious about their musical skills and should consider playing on better equipment. Most beginning students start learning on student model instruments which are wonderful to start on but do not allow the students to develop their tone, intonation, and technical skills to their fullest potential.
Students who are interested in playing their instruments throughout high school and beyond should consider investing in higher quality instruments. The director would be glad to help students investigate higher quality instruments when the time is right for you and your child. |
