Wayzata Middle Schools 

Orchestra Supply List

 

1.   Instrument in good working condition

1. Contact one of the string instrument stores recommended to reserve a rental outfit (includes the instrument, bow, case, rosin, and a cleaning cloth).  Please do this as soon as possible to ensure you have an instrument available to you in the fall. You will then pay for and pick up your instrument just before school starts in the fall.

 

2. If your family qualifies for free or reduced lunch please contact your middle school teacher for information about using a school-owned instrument. Our supply of school-owned instruments is limited. Please reach out early if this is a need for you.

 

3. If you are planning to use an instrument already owned by your family or are planning to purchase an instrument from somewhere other than our recommended vendors, please visit with your teacher to understand what to look for in a student-ready instrument. Instruments with poor set-up can be a significant impediment to successful learning. Any instrument under $750 retail (new) will likely inhibit the learning of proper tone production and technique. 

 

4. Bassists may be able to rent their instrument through the school district. Please contact your orchestra teacher if this is a need.

 

2. Additional Supplies -  can be purchased at music store or online

   1. All instruments - Folding Music Stand (keep at home), Rosin, Cleaning Cloth

   2. Violin and Viola - Shoulder Rest (Kun or Everest preferred brands) Shoulder Rests are critical for aligning the instrument to the body

   3. Cello - Rock Stop, Proper chair to sit in when practicing (https://celloguide.com/best-cello-chairs/ )
