School Instrument Usage: 
We have a limited number of school instruments that can be loaned to a student based on need and availability.
We ask that before requesting to use a school instrument that parents first check about getting your own instrument as there are many cheaper alternatives to purchasing an instrument that can make it possible to get your own instrument easily and upgrade as you grow or improve.
There is a very significant positive impact on the level of commitment in learning when a student has their own instrument. Students that have their own good quality instruments are more likely to take ownership for their learning, practice to progress more quickly, and be more motivated to continue playing long term. 

Every student will need an instrument at home to practice and complete assignments:
Violin and Viola: This will be the same instrument that you use in class (traditional/hybrid/virtual).

Cello & Bass: You will have your personal instrument that is for home practice (and concerts) and you will use a school instrument in class (Traditional/Hybrid). Cello students who wish to play their personal instrument in class may do so as long as you have a way to safely bring it back and forth from home to school (the bus is not a very safe mode of transport for larger instruments). 

Please use the links above to find teacher approved instrument shops both locally and online.

​We want to help make sure that every child who is motivated to learn a stringed instrument and wishes to join the orchestra is able to do so. 
Please contact your orchestra teacher if you have any questions or need help!
