PLEASE do not purchase or rent an instrument until you receive confirmation from Ms. Siwak about which instrument your child is assigned for this year!
Many stores offer online rentals, free shipping, and rent-to-own policies, so please check them out to find the store that fits your needs!
Beware of "Too Good To Be True" deals!
Avoid purchasing cheap instruments off of websites like Amazon or eBay. Though they are cheap and come in fun colors, they are very low quality and will not sound good and will break easily.
*String Instrument Players*
String instruments are made in different sizes to fit the player. Please make sure your child is measured before renting/purchasing the instrument. Call the shop for more info or email Ms. Siwak (christine.siwak@pgcps.org) for instructions on how to do that.
