The first step to getting started in the orchestra program in Wayne Township is attending an instrument selection appointment to choose your instrument, get information about renting one, and get all your questions answered. All appointments are at Lynhurst in the orchestra room. Please enter door 6 (by the tennis courts) the evening of your appointment. If you cannot attend on your school's evening, please reach out to make other arrangements.

THEN RENT AN INSTRUMENT OR PURCHASE AN ACCESSORY KIT:
Violin/Viola Rental: Head over to the Rental Information page to help you figure out your size
Cello/Bass Accessory Kit Purchase--Contact Paiges Music to purchase an accessory kit for your instrument. It will contain rosin, a cleaning cloth, a music stand, a music book, and a rockstop. Cello and bass use different types of rosin, so make sure you order for the correct instrument. Cello and bass students will rent their instruments through the school once school starts and more info will be sent home the first week of school for this.
If you are having difficulty renting an instrument or purchasing an accessory kit through Paiges, please contact an orchestra teacher for help. We are here for you and want to make sure every child has a place in the orchestra. We have assistance available for families that need help with instrument rental.
