A Word of Caution About Instrument Selection

While we encourage you to check out the instruments and the websites, we also want to help you keep an open-mind regarding your instruments choice.  While we have an instrument for everyone, not everyone will play the instrument that is their first choice.  Much like a football team, where not everyone is meant to play quarterback, not everyone is meant (or made) for certain instruments.

Each child is some type of instrumentalist; be that a saxophonist, a flutist, a trumpet player, etc.  It will be our goal to find out what instrument best suits them and will give them the greatest chance for success.  The directors have extensive experience helping students choose wisely.

Our Goal!!!

The bottom line is if the student is good at their instrument, they will enjoy playing in band, will want to practice more, and will have a much more rewarding experience.  We want to find the instrument that will accomplish this best.  This is our goal!!!
