Required Materials
Please check with me before ordering an instrument, so the correct size is ordered. I do not recommend buying a fractional size instrument (any smaller than full size). Instead, consider renting. Many shops offer purchase credit for rental payments, which can then be used to purchase a full size instrument when the student is full grown.
