All students will be shown how to use these supplies maintain their instrument in good working condition. As suggested by professionals and repair technicians, the supplies listed below are the best way to maintain an instrument in proper playing condition. If an instrument is neglected, then it will likely end up in the repair shop for unnecessary & costly repairs. If interested, there are kits available with all the supplies sold together and usually at a discount. Sometimes the local stores run out of these supplies. You may want to call ahead.

Students will be more successful in their practicing at home if they use a proper music stand. They will be able to play in proper playing position & to make it easier to read music. Students can use metronomes to keep the beat and tuners to help them keep in tune. If interested, portable folding stands, metronomes, & tuners are available at the local music stores for about $10-$30 each. There are also free metronomes available online with a link posted at NewhartMusic.com.

Woodwinds

Reed players will go through many reeds. If the reeds are taken care of, 10 reeds should last all year. Purchasing reeds by the box (in bulk) are most cost effective. You can also get reed cases to protect them in their instrument cases. Please try to keep extra reeds in the instrument case for replacement when one breaks.

BAND SUPPLY ORDER FORM

One of our music parents, Wendy, has volunteered to help interested students get discounted music supplies for their instruments. If you choose to get supplies through her, please turn in your order forms to Mrs. Petty along with the money (EXACT CASH ONLY – NO checks or change please) by Tuesday, August 23rd. SORRY, BUT SHE WILL NOT ACCEPT LATE ORDERS. REMINDER: CASH ONLY. No checks will be accepted.

§ All families are welcome to go to any music store they wish if you want to get your own instrument supplies!

§ This is completely optional. She will be able to order in bulk & find high quality, low cost supplies through catalogues and education discounts. We are hoping that this option might make getting supplies easier for some families. We also know that it can sometimes be difficult to find the time to make trips to a music store.
