✅ Rent your instrument--done!
 

⬜ Buy some sheet music! Whether a teacher-assigned method book, songs from your favorite movie soundtrack or another fun music book, get something to start with.
 

⬜ Get familiar with your instrument. Caring for and being responsible for an instrument is part of the learning process. Now is a good time to practice assembling your instrument and learning how to maintain it. Visit The Magic Flute for advice and to purchase instrument-specific cleaning supplies.
 

⬜ Set up a good place for home practice. New players need help getting organized for practicing at home—which they will be doing a lot of once music classes start. Designating a good practice area in the house, that isn’t disruptive, is the first step. Next, you want to set it up for success. This includes a chair, a music stand and, for brass and orchestral string instruments, a mute. :-)
 

⬜ Find inspiration. Help your child find a musician that plays the instrument they’ve chosen and who really inspires them. Find time to listen together, this will give you insight into your child’s musical joy and aspiration.
