Make the resolution to be a better musician!
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!
- Do you LOVE playing your instrument? Do you want an additional challenge and some one-on-one time with a professional? If so, think about taking private lessons! You'll have the tremendous opportunity to continue to advance and improve your skills! You can find the recommended Glenview Private Lesson Teacher list by clicking HERE!
