    Once you have decided on an instrument, and are ready to rent, visit:

     

    Coles Music Service - Instrument Rentals

     

    We recommend renting an instrument for at least the first year of playing- this allows the student to find out if this is the right instrument for them, at a much lower cost than purchasing an instrument. 

     

    If you do rent or purchase, please know you will also need the following book:

    ****Percussion (drums) - this is the only group to use this book:  "Hal Leonard School For Snare Drum A Beginning Drum Method"

    All other instruments (Flute, Clarinet, Sax, Trumpet, Trombone):

      -Essential Elements for Band, Book I (not included in rental)– but can be added to order at the time of rental on the Coles Website

     

    I highly recommend getting a music stand at the time of ordering as well.  

     

    Clarinet and Saxophone players- please purchase some extra reeds at the time of renting/buying:

    • Clarinet and alto sax: reeds (3 reeds minimum) - size 2 for beginners; size 2 ½ for second year students ( I suggested buying a box for the year), the following that SHOULD come with a rental: cork grease, clarinet swab/saxophone neck strap
