SUPPLIES NEEDED
Lesson Book - "Essential Elements for Strings 2000" Book 2. Please make sure the book has a purple colored stripe at top and is for the instrument that you play.
Rosin - comes in a block or plastic case. When applied to the bow, this sticky substance makes sound possible when the bow is pulled across the string.
Shoulder rest/pad (violin/viola only)- EACH VIOLIN/VIOLA STUDENT MUST HAVE AND USE EACH TIME THE INSTRUMENT IS PLAYED. There are several different types from which to choose. We recommend that you take your instrument to the store with you and try them out to see which is most comfortable for you. We have some at school that you also may try out if you wish.
Strings - Strings break with use and need to be replaced. You may choose to purchase strings from the store and we will be happy to put them on the instrument for you OR you may ask us to replace the string and then reimburse us for the cost of the string. ALL SCHOOL OWNED INSTRUMENTS MUST PURCHASE STRINGS THROUGH US. We are happy to replace strings as long as we are reimbursed for the string in a timely manner.
