Resources

Reeds are an essential part of playing a woodwind instrument like clarinet, saxophone, and oboe. Click below for direct links to purchase these items. Please avoid buying budget reeds as they tend to be far inferior to brands like Rico, Legere, Vandoren, D'Addario, Hemke. Contact Ms. Smith if you have questions or need help.
Students are required to have 3 working reeds at all times! (Unless they're using plastic reeds- one is fine!)
