What else do I need besides my instrument?
- All Students will also purchase a copy of "Essential Elements" for their instrument. This book also comes with a code to activate the website Essential Elements InterACTIVE which we will use! Students have access to additional resources for their instrument AND play along tracks for each song!
- Clarinet and Alto Saxophone students will need to purchase extra reeds for their instrument. We recommend RICO reeds (orange box, 1.5 or 2 strength) for our beginners. These reeds are reliable and budget friendly. They are available through Marshall Music or other online vendors.
- We also recommend that Brass and Woodwind students also purchase an instrument care kit from Marshall Music.
Renting is EASY from Marshall Music!
