Meet the Instruments!

Choosing an instrument is fun! Some kids might already have an idea of what instrument they want to play… Each student will have an opportunity to have an “instrument fitting” at school. This is a time for your student to work with professionals to try out a few instruments and see what instrument best fits them. Some instruments are better suited to each kid. Finding the best match will ensure your student can be successful. The more successful they are, the more they will want to practice and get even better!


More information about Instrument Fittings at your school will be communicated in the first few days of school!


We recommend purchasing an instrument from a reputable musical instrument retailer. Please see the "Rental Info" tab for more information on renting an instrument.
