I highly recommend The Loft Violin Shop as your instrument provider. They have excellent service, evening hours, and the best quality instruments and staff. String instruments come in a variety of sizes to match your child’s needs. A professional will help to measure your child to find the best-fitting instrument size. Don’t worry, you can always upgrade for free with the rental program to a bigger instrument size as you grow! (Watch the attached video)

After BCO rosters are finalized, teachers will receive a list of the class days and times for your child. Your child’s instrument and supplies will be delivered to the school. Please be prepared for class on during your scheduled Band/Choir/Orchestra time (9:10-10:25 am). Students will come to class twice a week for 35 minutes. The concert schedule will be finalized on the first week of BCO.
Cellists and bassists should arrange for a way to take their new instrument home from school. They will be provided with school instruments for their use in class time, as long as there are enough instruments available.
On the first day of class, The Loft Violin Shop will deliver all rented instruments. Students will also receive an orchestra handbook and schedule, and they will begin learning how to properly hold and care for their instrument.
