It’s important to clean your flute regularly. It’s worth grabbing a flutter cleaning kit to keep it in good condition.

With the saxophone you need to clean the mouthpiece after each use. You need something to clean the neck and body. Usually this looks like a rag attached to a string. Polishing cloth for the outside but that’s cosmetic. Cleaning the inside is KEY!

When buying an electric keyboard, I look for a full keyboard meaning 88 keys, weighted keys and a pedal!

These are seriously great guitars. They are located in my hometown as well so it makes it easy for me to protect a local business.

I’ve actually bought this twice. Having the right mouthpiece is key to a better tone. That and a good reed.

If you or your kid wants to learn recorder, spend a minimum of $15 on a good quality recorder! TRUST ME a cheap recorder burns the ears. A quality recorder soothes the soul.
