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.
The document below goes into detail about supplies for each grade level and instrument specific needs.
We have some wonderful local music stores. If you have any need of renting or purchasing equipment their websites are linked: Leithold Music and SSE Music
