Recommended Supplies
Recommended Supplies
You do not need to have these exact supplies, but these are recommended by the teachers based off of quality products at a reasonable price. While there may be cheaper options available, these cheap products such as reeds often make the instrument more difficult for students to succeed. If you have a question about a certain product please let us know.
REEDS: We recommend Rico size 2 or 2.5 reeds for all elementary band students. It is suggested for students to get a box of 10 for each school year.
CLEANING SUPPLIES: Proper instrument cleaning helps the longevity of the instrument, and even makes your instrument easier to play! Here are some suggested cleaning kits and supplies.
