Step 4: Attend a Free Getting Started Clinic

Getting Started Clinic

Let's face it - beginning band and orchestra do not have enough time at school for the director to make sure each student is getting a good foundation in proper technique. There are simply too many students and too little time!

~One director could have as many as 30 to 50 students;
~One director has to teach 4 or 5 different instruments at once; and
~Most school districts only have beginning orchestra or band 30 minutes
twice a week.

It seems like an impossible task. This would be like asking your child's teacher to instruct parts of Math, English, Science and Reading--all at the SAME time!

The directors do the best they can to get each student started right, but there simply isn't enough time. We're here to help! We have developed two ways to make sure your student is getting the right start:

~Free Getting Started Clinics
~Lesson Specials

In the Free Getting Started Clinics, we take all students of a like instrument (and their parents!) and go over the basics:

~Putting together your instrument,
~Caring for your instrument,
~Holding your instrument; and
~Achieving good sound from your instrument.

Times and dates vary each year, however there are clinics offered for your student's instrument every Friday night and Saturday morning during the first few weeks of school. Call us for more information about times and sign up today!
