Obtaining an Instrument

Already Own or Rent Your Instrument

♫ Awesome!  Be sure it is in good working condition and that you have the necessary supplies. 

♫ Borrowing an instrument from friends or family may also be a great option!  Again, be sure that it is in good working condition and you have the necessary supplies.

Music Store Rental

♫ Music stores can provide quality instruments, repairs (and loaners during repairs), and even curbside service!  I have provided a list of area music stores to shop, but please note that FCPS does not endorse a specific store.  

Rental Assistance

♫ Fairfax County Public Schools offers instrument rental assistance to families who've applied for the "Instructional Rental Assistance Program." You will complete a contract for a county instrument (SAXOPHONE is NOT available through this program). You can indicate your qualification in this program on the band registration form.

EUPHONIUM/TUBA

♫ Fairfax Villa owns a limited number of Euphoniums and Tubas available to use for the school year (first come, first served basis). You will be given a contract to complete to secure one of these school-owned instruments.  

Music Stores

Instrument Supplies

It is recommended that all students purchase a wire music stand to promote proper posture and form good habits while playing their instruments.
