STEP-UP MOUTHPIECES
All students are encouraged to purchase step-up mouthpieces
for their instrument. They cause a noticeable improvement in the
quality of sound produced by the player and are an appealing
option when compared to the cost of a step-up or professional
grade instrument. A beginner instrument with a step-up
mouthpiece will often sound more like a professional horn. A
professional horn with a beginner mouthpiece can sound like a
beginner horn. A complete list of recommended mouthpieces is
given below:
Clarinet: Vandoren B-45
(*with a Rovner ligature)
Bass Clarinet: CM 344
(* with a Rovner ligature)
Alto Saxophone: Selmer C*
(*with a Rovner ligature)
Tenor Saxophone: Selmer C*
(*with a Rovner ligature)
Baritone Saxophone: Selmer C*
(*with a Rovner ligature)
Trumpet: Bach 1 1/2 C or Benge 3C
F Horn: Holton Farkas MC or MDC
Euphonium: Bach 6 1/2 AL or Schilke 51
(check shank size)
Trombone: Bach 6 1/2 AL
(check shank size)
Tuba: Bach 18
**Saxophones, Trumpets and Trombones should consult a
director/private teacher about choice for jazz mouthpieces.
** Students should not accept substitutions from music retailers
without first checking with your band director. Be safe; buy the
mouthpiece listed for your horn. Other specific (professional)
mouthpieces may be recommended by private teachers as a better,
more personal fit.
PERCUSSION EQUIPMENT
Percussion students are responsible for the purchase of
sticks, mallets, and a mallet bag. A list of suggested purchases
