Step 1:
Register for Strings
Please use an email address that you check frequently when registering - most strings communication will happen via email!
Step 2:
Lesson fee payment
Note: Your child cannot begin lessons until payment is received
Select 'Wayland Elementary Instrumental Music Program' then 'Instrumental Fees'
Students who have financial need (including free & reduced lunch) may apply for financial assistance. All assistance must be approved before lessons begin. Completed forms and required financial documentation should be submitted to Susan Bottan in Central Office.
Step 3
Instrument & supplies
Please wait to order an instrument until your child is sized for an instrument by a teacher in early September!
Check the supply list Students will also receive a paper copy with the correct size
Instruments ordered from Johnson String will be delivered to the school. Please note that Johnson String Instrument is the Wayland Strings recommended vendor; however, you are welcome to order from any company you choose!
We strongly discourage purchasing an instrument online, as the quality is often quite poor, resulting in a frustrating playing experience. In addition, your child will grow and will need a bigger instrument as he/she does.
