In order for students to be successful, they need well maintained instruments. Students have learned about the different instrument maintenance tasks that they will need to be doing on a daily, weekly, and/or bi-weekly basis. These quick tasks will help students keep their instruments in good working order and cut down on trips to the repair shop. However, if your child's instrument needs to be repaired, we highly recommend BandJoe Music (on Scott Dyer Rd) and Music and Arts in Falmouth.

 For students' reference, I've included links to instrument care and maintenance how-to videos. Additionally, if you child still needs supplies (like swabs, valve oil, slide grease, reeds etc.), I've included links to those supplies on Amazon. You can also find these at a local music store.
