New student information
Returning student information
Before we get going again, please consider the following:
- Make sure all instruments are in working order
- Clarinets and Saxophones should be playing on 2.5 reeds (unless you have been advised otherwise).
- String players should have been re-measured over the summer to make sure they are on the proper size instrument.
- Make sure you have all needed accessories and books-folding music stand, binder with sheet protectors, book "Sound Innovations" for instrument (percussion also needs "Rhythm Reading for Drums"), and a pencil. Also, remember your instrument specific accessories such as reeds, valve/slide oil and rosin.
