What instrument should my student play?
- This depends on several factors:
- The interests and goals of your student
- The physical makeup of the student- mouth shape and size, arm length, dexterity of the fingers etc.
- The instruments that are needed in our groups.
What about instruments?
- I recommend renting instruments. GMS does have a small supply of instruments but they are very well used and are not the top quality available.
- We will be hosting a rental night- Sign up on the Interest List and you will get an email with the rental night information.
