Recommended Supplies for Orchestra
Very important:
Music books
7th grade: Sound Innovations for String Orchestra, book 2
8th grade: String Basics, book 3
The book can be purchased at school for $9.00. Cash or checks made out to East Middle School should be sent in an envelope with the student's name.
Hardcover three-ring binder for orchestra use only. The soft plastic binders tend to fall off the music stand.
Rehearsal pencil (not a pen!)
Shoulder rest or pad for violins & violas
End pin stop or strap for home ‘cellos & basses. Cello and bass players will have a school supplied end pin rest, cleaning cloth, and rosin to use at school.
Rosin
Cleaning cloth
Also helpful:
Tuning device, i.e. pitch pipe or electronic tuner such as the Korg Chromatic Tuner
Metronome
