Orchestra Supply List

Each student will need to have a ½ inch ring binder with folder pockets on the inside jackets for sheet music. In addition to the binder each student will also need to bring a pencil, and assignment pad or school agenda to class.

Students should always save their old or previous method books for use in the current school year, as there are always valuable skills and lessons to refer back to.

I highly recommend that every student have a music stand at home to practice with. Playing without a music stand causes bad playing posture and hinders progress. Folding wire stands are inexpensive and are available at any music store. I also recommend the “Korg CA1” or “CA40 Chromatic Tuner”. I will gradually be able to teach each student how to tune their instrument on their own using a tuner.
