Reeds are absolutely necessary on the first day of clarinet and sax instruction.
Reeds and cork grease can be purchased from a local music store at nominal cost. You will also need a notebook for notes and handouts. Assignments are given to help you develop playing proficiency, an understanding of the instruments' mechanics and psychology, and an appreciation of the skill, talent, and detemination needed to play each instrument well. Part of your grade will be based on daily work and absences inevitably affect your final grade. If you must miss class because of illness, emergency, or university approved field trips, please remember that you are responsible for the material that was covered and assigned during your absence.
