Beginning Band Instruments
If you wish to play bass clarinet, saxophone, oboe or bassoon you will begin with the clarinet and then switch to the bass clarinet, saxophone, oboe or bassoon upon teacher approval in May of this school year. 
Instrument Rentals
Families can rent or purchase from any reputable Music Dealer in the area. The Kirkwood School District uses Nottelmann Music for all School owned instrument. They also make deliveries to Kirkwood on a weekly basis and will have an instrument pick up at Kirkwood High School. IF you choose to rent new you may rent via the link below. If you choose to rent gently used or purchase please call the store directly. Beware of instruments sold at Costco, Sams, Target and Walmart. Although the price is appealing they are not "real instruments" and are not appropriate for beginning band class. If you are purchasing a used instrument online or from a neighbor or friend make sure to take it in for servicing prior to the start of band class 2nd quarter as it may need adjustment or repairs if it has not been played regularly.
If you have questions please contact Mrs. Wright or Mrs. Friesen for further detail
