Instruments…
for Sale, Rentals & Repairs
Don’t own an instrument? We do have a limited supply of instruments in stock and can strongly recommend trusted local rental companies to get you started. We have amazing vendor relationships and our teachers will help you test any instruments before you purchase them! Please take advantage of our teachers experience and we will help you find the best options for your students and your budget!
Are Private Lessons Required?
Because our Band program only meets 1 day per week, we do require 1st year, beginner students, to be enrolled in private lessons. We simply do not want any students to be frustrated with their “learning curve” or expectations.
Once students pass our directors instrumental evaluation they are not required to be in lessons, but we do strongly encourage it. Please note that your private lessons may be with any teacher of your choice. We do offer private lessons with our staff at a greatly reduced rate (30%-50% discounts) compared to many local teachers! Please contact us and let us know how we can best help your child!

We have performance opportunities throughout the year, and all students are invited to participate in concerts, competitions, and community events. all of our community concert events are required.
