RECOMMENDED DEALERS
While there’s no fee for lessons, families are responsible for the cost of instruments and materials.
Students in 4th and 5th grade are likely to grow during their first few years of learning and so we strongly recommend renting from a preferred business. As children grow, they can trade in for a new size. The stores also help with maintenance if anything should break or become damaged.
If possible, please do not buy an instrument from Amazon, or from low cost internet sources. Low cost instruments are frustrating for students as they cannot play successfully, and it takes much of our precious class time to get these in working order each week. If you have difficulties obtaining an instrument, please reach out to Mr. Conte.
