Music Stand
Music Stand
It is highly recommended that each student have a music stand for home practice. Practicing without a music stand can cause bad posture habits, and make proper sound production difficult. The music store you purchase your instrument from should also have music stands appropriate for home practice.Â
You can also purchase one online here.Â

Shoulder Rest (Violin/Viola Only)
Shoulder Rest (Violin/Viola Only)
*Make sure you select the correct size for your instrument. If you're not sure, check with your child's music teacher. For violins, it should match your violin size. For viola's, the 1/2-3/4 shoulder rest should fit most 12" and 13" violas. A 14" viola might need the 4/4 shoulder rest.
The Sponge Shoulder Rest isn't as effective, but is much less expensive. If the first shoulder rest is not affordable, then please purchase a sponge shoulder rest.
