These essentials are a must for any students on the course:
Your instrument- It sounds obvious but make sure you bring that which you’ll be using the most during the week and any accessories you may need such as valve oil.
Music stand- These aren’t provided by the course so make sure you bring a music stand with your name on it. This stops you losing it come the end of the week.
Pencil – to mark your parts for example when conductors ask you to play quieter or louder
Money- This is a must to take advantage of the great selection in the school canteen and keep yourself fed and watered throughout the day.
Water- Keeping yourself hydrated during the week is key so make sure to drink plenty of water in the days. Drinks are available for a very reasonable price from the canteen.
A smile- Remember the course is all about having fun while making music so enjoy yourself!
