To the right are some music vendors in the Yorkville area. While you are welcome to use any music vendor, most families in Yorkville choose to rent from Ellman's Music Center for band instruments and Austin's Violin Shop for orchestra instruments. These two vendors come to your child's school once a week to complete instrument repairs and deliver supplies. This saves parents time because repairs and deliveries can be handled at the school, rather than driving to the music store.
We always suggest renting an instrument before buying. If you are interested in buying an instrument for your child, please contact your child's band or orchestra teacher first so we can help guide you through the process and ensure it is a quality instrument. We would be happy to provide you with a list of reputable brands. Nothing is more frustrating to a child than learning to play on a broken or poor quality instrument. We highly discourage purchasing instruments online prior to speaking to a music teacher. Below is a helpful guide when considering purchasing an instrument: |
