Having the proper equipment is essential for success when learning a new instrument. Required items range from classroom method books to instrument-specific maintenance supplies, such as cleaning swabs, reeds, or valve oil.
Most students/familes rent or purchase their instruments from a local music provider. However, the school provides certain instruments that are typically unavailable for rent, including the Double French Horn, Tuba, and Bari Sax.
The OMS band program also has a limited number of school-owned instruments available for students in need. If your student requires an instrument, please contact a band teacher or the OMS office for assistance.
