If you've requested information about renting from the school (select instruments & Instruments for All Program) your teacher will send that to you soon.
If you'll be renting an instrument from a local store, go ahead and rent one as soon as possible. You may want to call the store in advance.
Students will be notified of their Specials schedule during the first week of school so they know which day they will have Strings or Band.
Returning students - keep practicing!
Beginners:
While this is super-exciting, please WAIT until our first lesson and/or instrument assembly videos are provided before beginning. We want to make sure you don't accidentally break anything or develop bad habits before classes even begin. Beginning Strings students, please don't touch or tighten the bow hair!
Parents/Guardians, when it is time to assemble the instrument (band) for the first time, your presence would be a great help in getting your child started correctly!
Help your child find an appropriate place to practice. It should be quiet and away from others if possible.
Help your child schedule time to practice. I recommend 4 times per week for 10-15 minutes each time.
Do your best! Not everyone has the same space or time to practice. We understand.
Celebrate small accomplishments!
Don't be afraid to ask for help! That's what we're here for, and our goal is your success.
Please email with any questions. We are happy to help!
