FAQ

Can we try out another instrument not listed (e.g. Cello, Tenor sax, French horn)?

Instruments that are not generally offered in 5th grade will not be available for trial during the group class. If you'd like to set up a private class to explore any of the instruments not generally offered in 5th grade, please reach out to our lesson coordinator at: [email protected]

We've attended your instrument exploration class, but my student is still unsure of what to play.

That's totally normal! There are a few ways to approach this. You can attend another class for $30 for another chance to play each instrument. If you've narrowed it down, then you can speak to an associate to set up a private trial for the instruments your student is interested in ($20 per instrument). If your student has more or less decided on one, but they are still unsure if that's what they will stick to, you may want to just rent the one they're most interested in. There is no cost for instrument exchanges when you rent with us!
