Supplies

Here’s a list of some of the more essential items for your young musician to have:

Flutes: Cleaning rod and cloth

Clarinets/Saxophones: Cleaning swab, cork grease, and REEDS, REEDS, REEDS!

Trumpets/French Horns: valve oil/rotor oil

Trombones: slide lubricant

Percussion: sticks, at the very least. Some percussionists prefer to purchase their own mallets.

I encourage everyone to purchase a lyre (a small music holder that attaches to the instrument for marching in parades). Lyres are typically from $5 to $15 and available from the vendors below.
