ARMS Orchestra Update!
What should our goals and expectations be?
What will the culture of the ARMS Orchestra room look like?
These are some of the questions that will help develop the program into something great! Your input as students, parents, and families in the community will help make this dream a reality!
In our first year it will take everyone of us to make this happen. Please do not hesitate to volunteer, share your thoughts and suggestions, and help us make Autumn Ridge a school to call home!
Private Lessons!
Are you interested in the opportunity for your child to receive one-on-one instruction from a professional on their specific instrument to help them advance at a faster pace and open the door to additional experiences in music?
Private lessons are a great way to make this possible! There is a wonderful group of experienced private lessons teachers in the Lake Houston area who have received approval from Humble ISD to be instructors.
Use the link below to find a teacher for your child's instrument - contact them via email or phone to find out more information on scheduling and pricing. This is a great opportunity to help further your child's playing ability!

Renting vs. Purchasing an instrument:
Renting includes insurance which covers repairs. If your child needs a larger size instrument after only a few months, the shops will upsize for no additional cost. A store employee travels to ARMS once a week to pick up repairs, trade-ins, and deliver supplies. Finally, Lisle and Fishburn instruments are high quality!
Purchasing an instrument leaves you to cover the cost of any repairs. Sizing up will result in a new purchase. You get what you pay for - cheaper instruments can be low quality, hard to tune, and easily broken.
