Instrument Information and Care

Instrument Cleaning and Disinfecting for COVID-19

Students should not share instruments, reeds, mouthpieces, or instrument cleaning supplies. This will greatly reduce the chances of viral spread.  In addition, all students should practice good daily and weekly instrument cleaning techniques.

Guidelines from the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the National Association for Music Education (NAfMM)
