Supplies

For violin, viola, cello, or bass you will need a complete instrument outfit. This includes the instrument, shoulder rest (for violin and viola), bow, rosin, and case. Students should also have a stand for practicing. The Manhasset stands are the absolute best for the long-term (will last the rest of their life!) but fold-up stands are okay too. The music should be at eye-level for practicing.

Piano students need a piano to practice on. An acoustic or digital is fine. The keys on a digital should be the same size as a regular piano.

Where do I get my instrument?

Here is a list for where to look for rentals. Most places have a rental to purchase plan. They are there to help you through the year if you have any difficulty with the instrument. I highly suggest renting or renting to purchase over just buying a cheaper instrument online where you might have quality issues and no help after purchase.

What is the cost?

The shorter fall semester is $450 or $125 per month for four months

The longer spring semester is $575 or $125 per month for five months

You can also pay in full for the entire 2022-23 school year for a savings of $225.
