Mr. Decker is (usually) at the high school for our Period 1 rehearsals on Days 1 through 4. On Day 5, we join with our friends in the concert band for our full orchestra rehearsals. What a great way to start the day!

Mr. Decker recommends the following strings for high school players.

ALWAYS make sure that you are ordering the correct size of strings for youe instrument.

You should replace your strings about once per year. If you practice every day, not only are you amazing but you should try to replace them about once every 6 months. For more information, please see this article. Ask Mr. Decker if you need any assistance.
