Care For your Instrument

Being a part of this program, you will learn how to properly care for your instrument since they
are very delicate and become expensive to repair if damaged. Understand majority of the time
an instrument gets damaged is due lack of care towards the instrument. Following my
guidelines will reduce the chance of any instrumental damage significantly. If you are renting an
instrument from your local music shop or if it is your own personal instrument; you are
responsible for any damages made to the instrument.

New and Curious?

Generally, when a student new to a music program with no experience playing an instrument
will want to play an instrument, they are familiar with like the saxophone or the drums. Please
take my word when I say there are much more exciting and “cooler” instruments to experiment
with. When I say cooler instruments I mean:

clarinet, oboe, bassoon, tenor saxophone

french horn, baritone, euphonium, tuba, trombone
cello, string bass

Things to consider
All instruments are shaped in different sizes and meant for kids of all sizes. For example, if you
are someone with long arms, you want to consider playing trombone. Some one with big hands
will consider bassoon, cello, string bass. Those who are tall and have big hands would possibly
consider tenor saxophone, baritone, euphonium, baritone, or even the tuba.
