Materials needed to begin

First, you need to have a functioning instrument. I recommend renting an instrument from 1 of our 2 approved music vendors.

When renting an instrument,  we will need
 

• The lesson book: Sound Innovations Book 1 for their specific instrument (If playing percussion please purchase "combined percussion") 

• Reeds if playing clarinet or sax. You should purchase a box of Rico Reeds size 2.5 reeds (Orange Box)

• Valve/Slide Oil if playing trumpet, french horn, baritone, or trombone.

• Music Stand (extremely important for efficient practice at home)

• I HIGHLY recommend purchasing the LDW (Liability Damage Waiver Plan). The Waiver covers repairs, damage and loss. Without it, you would be responsible for any repairs needed on the instrument.

• Be aware that when you purchase an instrument, you are responsible for paying for all repairs and maintenance. For beginner students, I would ALWAYS recommend renting instead of purchasing your first instrument
