(Students need these EVERY DAY)
- Instrument/bow: in good working condition that meets minimum standards
- Rosin: frequently included with the instrument.
- Shoulder rest: violins/violas only. Fully adjustable/collapsible versions of the SUMI brand recommended. Adjustable/collapsible versions of the FOM or KUN are possible alternatives, but have issues every now and then. (NOT EVEREST)
- Rock stop: cellos/basses only.
- Essential Elements for Strings, Book 1
- 1 folding wire stand: for practice at home. Proper posture and position is compromised without one.
- Cleaning cloth: soft cloth for cleaning instrument and bow.
- 1” black three-ring binder: this is for orchestra use only for storing music, method book and other required supplies.
- 1 package subject dividers
- 1 three-ring pencil pouch
- 2 pencils: students must have a functional pencil in class every day and are penalized for not coming to class with one. Having two at all times helps prevent this.
- 1 highlighter: students use these to highlight important information in their music and on other handouts.
- Metronome/Tuner: these can be found for free online, there are dozens of free and cheap apps for a device
Teacher wish list: box of pencils, bandaids, post-it notes, hand sanitizer, tissues, clorox wipes, dry erase markers
Please make sure that your child’s name is on ALL of his/her supplies.
