Level Up Your Ensemble’s Sound

Band and orchestra students are quickly approaching the next level in their musicianship and are eager to explore step-up instruments that align with their passion and potential.

We're here to support and empower you with the necessary resources and beyond:

  • Flyers for parents about the benefits of instrument upgrades.
  • Articles discussing how instrument upgrades support musical development.
  • Shareable event postcards for local Upgrade Your Sound Events.
  • In-school instrument demonstrations that allow students to test intermediate or advanced level instruments with guidance from their teacher.

Upgrade Your Sound Parent Flyers

Navigating conversations about instrument upgrades with parents can present challenges, yet it's a vital step for their musical development.

Share these flyers with parents to help explain the benefits of upgrading from a beginner to an intermediate or advanced level instrument. We make upgrading easy with special pricing and financing offers.
