Note: There is a reasonable assumption that the incoming student will have studied the Handel and Telemann Sonatas. If that is not the case, the student can assume that he/she will not begin their studies with J.S. Bach, but will substitute the Sonatas of Handel and Telemann in its place.
All students should own and bring the following to lessons:
Metronome/Tuner
Swab & Cleaning Cloth (silk)
Pad cleaning paper (Yamaha – NO powder)
