Obtaining an instrument for your beginning band or orchestra student!

1) A relative, neighbor, or friend! Have a repair shop look over the instrument to ensure it’s in playing condition and that you have the proper accessories!

2) Purchasing an instrument. If you talk to the student’s teacher and do your research, this is a viable option—the pitfall is if the student changes their mind and wants to play a different instrument, you’re stuck with what you bought. Remember, a poor quality instrument is a poor reason for a student to quit orchestra or band.

4) Renting an instrument from a local music shop. This option offers the most flexibility, with the lowest cost to get started.

However you obtain an instrument for your student, we’re here to help! If you have questions about a potential instrument, talk to us or your student’s orchestra or band director.

Happy music making!
