Supplies Price List
Band Supplies
Leonard's Music in Wayland and Strike up the Band in Natick are our primary suppliers. I will get a current price list for the items below soon, so check back later. (K&C Music company is no longer servicing the Wayland Schools - although if you have an instrument you purchased from K&C, don't panic!!! Mr. Andruchow will come to school to take care of whatever you need).
Leonard's & Strike up the Band are not the only music store carrying the supplies that you need. This list is only for your convenience. Feel free to call Ms Muffitt if you would like to talk about large purchases or other music stores in the area.(List of other local music stores) Beware of stores that sell mostly guitars, drums, etc. - I have often found that they do not have staff who really know about wind instruments, and have given out incorrect information and equipment on wind instruments).
(Exciting moment!) The School Band & Orchestra Magazine has created a website with information that might be useful to you when embarking upon the fairly difficult task of purchasing a new instrument. http://www.sbomagazine.com/howtobuy.html -- PLEASE beware of instruments that have a cheaper sticker price -- they look great, but there is a reason that they don't cost as much, and usually they have major wear problems very quickly. Ask a private teacher or your band director about the brand you are considering. Don't just buy off the shelf! I would say never buy from a discount store, and I would be cautious about buying from a store that seems to deal primarily in guitars, keyboards, drumset, etc. I have found that even though they look like they have a band/orchestra instrument department, they often don't have people who really know the instruments. Your best bet is to work through a private teacher who can be most knowledgeable about advising you of what is best for your child. If your child is not taking lessons, do check in with the band director before making purchases. ADVANCED INSTRUMENTS: Advanced players need better quality instruments. I would go to Rayburn Music in Boston for the woodwinds, and Osmun Music in Arlington for the brass instruments or sometimes Leonard Music here in Wayland http://www.leonardsmusic.com/ can get some quality instruments. |
Below is a short list of some of the most commonly ordered supplies. These prices are from Strike Up the Band. If you send the order form in, or email your order and give me the check, Strike Up the Band will deliver your order to the middle school. You can also order on line from Leonard's, but it often takes longer.

REPAIRS:For most repairs, Leonards will come to the school and repair it then and there. For more difficult repairs or if parts need to be ordered, a loaner instrument will be left and yours will be returned as soon as possible. If you need a repair, call Leonards at 508-653-2189, or email info@leonardsmusic.com Do not leave instruments in the main office for either K&C or Leonards; bring them to the band room and either give them to Ms Muffitt or put them on the table with a note. Be sure your name is on the instrument. |
