Standard Orchestra Supplies

 All Students Should Have...

• Name Tag on Instrument Case
• Rosin (there will be rosin available in the classroom)
• Clean, soft, dry cloth for cleaning rosin off strings
• Shoulder Rest (violin/viola) - sponges are fine, make sure they are the right size (Heid Music can help with this), Kun, Wolf and Everest shoulder rests are good quality, I personally use an Everest.
• Endpin strap (cello/bass) - Xeros brand are the best in my personal opinion, they provide more stability for the musician. The round puck stops are ok for cello and bass players.  

Other Good things to have for home:

• Music Stand - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
• Metronome/Tuner (also available as free apps on the iPad)
• Extra Strings (just in case! D'Addario Preludes are my preferred brand for students in their first couple years of playing)
