 What equipment is needed for orchestra?

Items needed to participate in the Orchestra Class:
    * INSTRUMENT; the School District does not have any instruments to rent.

   * BOOK - ‘Essential Elements for Strings 2000’ with CD and DVD - cost is around $10.00    

    * Lint-free Rag to wipe rosin and finger prints off of the instrument.   One can be purchased from Mrs. Hershey for       50 cents.  

    * PENCIL in the case or folder at all times

    * Sponge or shoulder rest and Rubber Band  - violin and viola - shoulder rest can be purchased from 
            Mrs. Hershey for $2.00, or for full size instruments from a music store.   Mrs. Hershey recommends the Kun shoulder
            rest.  It seems to be the most comfortable and is built well.

    * Rock stop - cello - to keep the cello endpin from slipping on a wood or tile floor
                    There are many types of rock stops.  Ask what might work best.

    * Folding Music Stand for practicing at home

    * Extra set of Strings (optional)

 INSTRUMENT RENTAL: If you do not have a Violin, Viola or Cello, you can rent one from the following Music Stores 
    in the Madison area.   There are other places to rent or buy also.
