 -Students are responsible for obtaining an instrument (rental or purchase), a music book (Essential Elements for Band) and downloading the accompaniment music online at home for practice. —We do not rent out instruments, Park Avenue Music does and we highly recommend them. Their prices are dependent upon instrument, but are typically- $20(flute, clarinet, trumpet)-$55(alto saxophone) a month and a one time fee for percussion of around $60 for a drum pad, sticks and the book.  

PARK AVENUE MUSIC:      
1717 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95126    
(408) 279-5100

- Flute ​(this is the hardest instrument to get started on, it is normal to struggle during the first 3 weeks, but we highly recommend that if a student is struggling after 4 weeks of band, they take 4 private lessons to lock in their embouchure and the mechanics of the instrument. (There is nothing saying that you can not do this right from the beginning.) Instructor recommendations available upon request.

- Percussionists ​must purchase a drum pad (any size), drum sticks (any size that is comfortable) and a book.
-If your student wants to switch instruments after the first couple sessions, that is fine with us and typically fine with the music store at no additional cost.  

-Please remember that  all students are responsible for their own instrument and this is not a San Jose Unified School District sponsored event.

———If you are interested in getting your students some in-person lessons in or right outside of your home or virtually, please keep reading. Doing private lessons can be in addition to band, as it would help support your student's musical abilities while learning an instrument and getting more proficient at a much quicker pace. The pricing for Private Lessons is different and completely separate from the Band Program and we offer many more instruments than just the band instruments. If you are interested in this option, please reach out to:

We look forward to working with your student!
