Tuesday, September 8, 2015 No Comments

It is that time of year again.  We are all getting into the swing of another school year.  Getting new supplies, meeting new friends, and adjusting to a new schedule.  It is also a great time to upgrade to a new instrument!  There are many advantages to upgrading your student’s instrument.  In many cases, it will be easier to play, it will make a better sound, and it will give your student the excitement to keep progressing on their musical journey.
