In order to be successful, you must have an instrument in working order and the proper accessories to that instrument. We have some school instruments available, but certainly not enough for everyone. If possible it is recommended to rent an instrument from a music store. Many programs are rent to own and come with repairs as well. Sometimes a mouthpiece upgrade or other accessories can make a huge difference in your sound! Below are recommendations for accessories.
