You might be asking….
When is the right time to get a step-up instrument?
Where do we start?
How do we pick from so many options?
Working with our area school band and orchestra teachers, it our goal to help you navigate the process of selecting the right step-up instrument for your student. When picking a step-up band or orchestra instrument we take time to get to know more about your students playing experience and their goals. Based on this information we can help you narrow your options. We then encourage each student to spend time playing on the various instrument models they are considering. Due to our physiological make up an instrument that plays well for one person will play and respond differently for another. We want your student to achieve his or her advancing goals and skills.
Our step-up instruments have popular features your student is looking for such as open holes on a flute, wood body on a clarinet, silver plating on a trumpet, and an F-attachment on a trombone. If you need monthly payments, we have several different financing options that are available to all of our customers.
Step-Up Instruments
- Student model band and orchestra instruments are designed to be robust to withstand the learning curve of a beginner musician.
- After your student has learned the basics in band or orchestra they will begin to play more challenging music that requires more flexibility in sound or tone quality and range of notes played.
- As your student progresses in their music education journey their student model instrument might begin to limit their progress. In order to continue having fun and aid in the ease of their growth as a musician, most teachers recommend moving to a step-up or professional model instrument.
Where do we start?
Selecting a step-up instrument Is not always as simple as walking into a store, making a selection and walking out. We encourage our customers to spend a little time trying out and testing the various models they have to choose from. As mentioned earlier, due to our physiological make up an instrument that plays well for one person will play and respond differently for another.
We encourage you to bring your student model instrument with you when looking at step-up models. Spend a few minutes learning the technical differences and price points that are available. Once you have narrowed your options we encourage you to go into one of our studios and play the instruments, compare the sound differences between your student model and the models you are considering stepping up to, have a parent or teacher join you if possible so they can provide feedback. Then, once you have narrowed your choices even further you have the option of checking one out on approval. You can take it home, spend a couple days playing it, and get your school director's feedback. When you are ready to make a final selection you can then decide if you want to purchase it outright or set up a payment plan.
