STUDENTS NEED TO BRING THEIR OWN INSTRUMENTS

Beth suggests beginning students rent an instrument to make sure it is in proper working condition.  An instrument may be rented online and shipped directly to a student’s home.  The following are places that Beth suggests renting from:

The Baroque Violin Shop – www.baroqueviolinshop.com

Shar Music – www.sharmusic.com

Jim’s Music Online – www.jimsmusiconline.com 

Students who already have an instrument should have it checked out to make sure it is good working order.  The nearest place to do that is:

Northland Music Center – Rhinelander, WI – northlandmusiccenter.com 715-420-0555
