Band is an important part of life at Northeastern. Getting started is a big step for every 6th grade family.
Getting Your Instrument - Advice from your teachers
Here are the choices you have:
- You already own an instrument– If this is the case, please have your student bring the instrument to school so that we may check it over. Often, instruments that have been sitting unused may need repair. These repairs may be minor or very costly. We can help you determine if the instrument works and is worth the cost of repair.
- You wish to rent an instrument– As Directors, we highly recommend renting the best instrument you can afford. We recommend the Paige's Music rental program where you may rent a high quality new instrument. These instruments generally rent for $39-$63 per month and your rental fee goes toward the purchase of the instrument. There are also a limited number of school instruments available for rental. These are reserved for students who play a large and expensive instrument and those who simply do not have the means to rent or buy an instrument from a music store or other source. School instruments rent for $50 per year. Most of our rentals are done through Paige's Music.
- You want to purchase an instrument – This is a great way to go if you know your child is 100% invested in band for the next few years. Over the long haul, it is a less expensive choice. However, buyer beware….. you get what you pay for and much like new and used cars, there are lemons out there. I highly recommend that you get assistance from someone experienced in purchasing band instruments before you buy. Mrs. Markiewicz (Miller) and Mr. Eisenhofer are here to assist you with your purchase.
