Do I need an instrument to begin lessons?
Piano students will need either an acoustic piano or a full-sized keyboard with weighted keys.
Organ students will need access to either an organ at least one day per week for practice. On the other days, organ students can practice on a piano or keyboard.
Wind instrument students will need their own instruments. These can be rented or purchased.
Please see below if you need assistance with choosing an appropriate instrument.
Can you help with choosing an appropriate instrument?
Yes!
A complimentary consultation is available for those seeking on an appropriate instrument to purchase or rent. Instruments are a significant financial investment and having a quality instrument can impact a student's progress, so students are encouraged to take advantage of the consultation in order to make an informed decision.
Some taking organ lessons may want to utilize an organ at a church, synagogue, or other place of worship, while others may prefer to purchase a residence organ for at-home practice. We can discuss both of these options during the consultation.
