MOUTHPIECE PURCHASING INFORMATION
In 5th grade, mouthpieces came with the school-owned instruments, but starting in middle school, students playing those instruments are expected to obtain their own mouthpiece that they will bring back and forth to school (along with renting the home and school instruments for $100 for the whole year). In order to purchase a mouthpiece for your student’s instrument, please use the following models according to their instrument (and see the contact info for the local music stores for purchasing options).
French Horn: Yamaha 30 C4 or Holton-Farkas MC
Baritone: Yamaha 48 or Bach 7C
Tuba: Conn-Helleberg 120S or Bach 18
