Previous Announcements:

For Grade 7s Who Don't Have An Instrument Assigned:

Talk to your parents about where you want to get your instrument from.  

School instruments are free, but I am running out of some instruments and so selection is limited.  Sharing may be necessary if I run out.  Shared instruments cannot be taken home. 

Rented/purchased instruments have a monthly or annual fee, but there are no restrictions on choice.  The instruments are usually very new and surprisingly affordable.

For percussion, the student must have piano lesson experience and can read music.  Renting a bell kit is also required.

The list of instruments you can choose from is here:
Oboe

Flute

Clarinet

Bassoon

Alto Saxophone

Tenor Saxophone

French Horn

Trumpet

Trombone

Baritone

Tuba
Percussion 

Descriptions of these instruments are located on this page.  A video demonstration of these instruments is on this page.

Instruments can be rented from Long & McQuade.
