Instruments - what you need at home:
Keyboard Students: need their own keyboard or piano on which to practice at home. We unfortunately do not have any keyboards available for hire, but there will be keyboards available to use in classes and ensembles, so students do not need to bring their keyboards to class.
Drum (and percussion) Students: It is not necessary for beginners to have a drum kit at home, but all students need drumsticks and a practice pad to bring to class. There will be drum kits and percussion instruments available in classes and ensembles.
Recorder Students: need a recorder to practice at home
Singing Students: need only their voice, a clear file, and a pencil!
Guitar Students: need their own acoustic guitar, most students will need a half or three-quarter size, depending on their age.
Flute, Saxophone, Clarinet, Trumpet, Cello, or Violin Students: need a flute, saxophone, clarinet, trumpet, cello, or violin. We have all these instruments available for hire. Items like reeds, strings and rosin can be bought from a local music shop.
