Where do I find all these items?
What if we aren't able to afford an instrument right now?
If the added expense of renting an instrument isn't an option for your family right now, please don't worry. Over the years, I have collected an inventory of school-owned instruments so that ALL students can participate. Please don't hesitate to contact me if your child needs an instrument. I will do my best to make sure they have everything they need to be successful.
Can I use Aunt Sally's clarinet that has been stored in the basement for the last 20 years?
Maybe... If you have inherited a used instrument [family heirloom], you will want to have it cleaned and inspected at a music store/repair shop to make sure it is in good working order. Trying to learn on an instrument that is out of adjustment or broken is extremely frustrating for young students and is the #1 reason for a student quitting band. If you bring the instrument by the school, I will also be glad to look it over. Let's set ourselves up for success and get that instrument inspected/repaired!
Instrument Brands, Models and Accessories
The list below is not comprehensive, but contains many of the instrument models and brands students have used in the past. I am not allowed to recommend specific brands, etc. Again, this is a just a list of instruments and equipment I have seen students with in the classroom. If you have a brand/model of instrument that you are interested in purchasing that is not on this list, please email me and I will be glad to help guide you in your instrument selection.
