As students go and develop in the course of their high school music careers, their instrumental needs change and grow along with them. The quality of our repertoire becomes more complex and challenging as a result of those changes and growth, this page has been developed to provide students and parents with a list of recommended accessories that students will use in their high school years. Every effort will be made to recommend the most cost effective, quality accessories to help ensure the musical growth of the students. Included is an approximate cost for each item. If you contact our local music store, you won't have to pay shipping charges because they deliver to the school.
