Is it time for an Instrument Checkup?
Many music stores offer an annual instrument service (similar to the way you get your car serviced!). Instruments are cleaned and polished, keys are realigned and adjusted, and everything is checked to be in working order. I strongly recommend having your instrument serviced at least TWICE a year - once during winter break and once during summer break.
You can have your instrument serviced at the following locations:
Evanston Band and Orchestra (they have a shop RIGHT in the store!!)
4125 Main St.
Skokie, IL
(847) 673-3812
Quinlan and Fabish
59 W. Seegers Road
Arlington Heights, IL
(847) 253-5592
Total Music
1466 Waukegan Rd.
Glenview, IL
(847) 724-5310
Looking for a New Year's Resolution...?
Look no further! Resolve to sound better and upgrade a piece of equipment!
You can find the Springman Recommended Equipment list by clicking HERE.
Please note that the items marked with asterisks (***) are strongly encouraged. These items will make an enormous difference in the students' sound and their performance in an ensemble. Furthermore, this equipment can be used through high school and, often, beyond high school! The more students that "step-up" even ONE piece of equipment will help our ensembles to sound amazing...plus, it's a GREAT New Year's resolution!
Private Lessons!
If so, think about taking private lessons! You'll have the tremendous opportunity to continue to advance and improve your skills!
