Rental is available on a first come basis ($15/month), but families who are financially able to lease-to-own or purchase are encouraged to do so. If you already own your own instrument, feel free to bring it, but please do not purchase an inexpensive one “just to try.” We will be happy to assist you.

In addition to registering for this Community Ed class you will need to register for lessons (during the school day at the school or after school at the studio). Register for lessons at https://cyo.mymusicstaff.com/register-new-member

Students will need to register for this class again in January to participate for the remainder of the year. If the student takes private lessons from a teacher not affiliated with the Crescendo program you need to discuss this with the director and get permission to register for register without Crescendo lessons.
