Grades 3-6- Orchestra Instruments
Grades 4-6- Band Instruments
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE is necessary!
25-30 minute long "pull-out" lessons, meaning students will leave class to attend. Student is responsible for making up any work they miss during their scheduled lesson time.
Only 2 after-school commitments in first year- one dress rehearsal and one concert. These ensemble experiences at concerts provide the foundation that students will need to participate in the 7th-12th grade programs.
Rent-to-own Programs through reputable music vendors such as Menchey Music. These programs are especially beneficial for stringed instruments in the orchestra because students will need different sized instruments as they grow, and having a correctly sized instruments is crucial to their success. Beginning students are rarely ready for a full size string instrument, and will have difficulty holding it and placing their fingers in the correct location to play in-tune notes.

We do NOT recommend purchasing an instrument through vendors such as Amazon. Although the price may look attractive or you may find an instrument in a fun color, shortcuts are often taken in the manufacturing of these instruments and they do not function properly, and parts are often not available to repair them. Please find an instrument through a reputable music vendor, and if you have any questions regarding the quality of an instrument you found, do not hesitate to contact us!
