Obtaining Instruments

Guitar Instrument Information

The Suzuki Parent should purchase a guitar for him/herself to be delivered by first day of the semester.

DO NOT order an instrument for your child.

All guitars must be a nylon string CLASSICAL guitar, with a *solid* cedar or spruce soundboard. If you have small hands, order a 63.6cm guitar; if you have large hands, order a full size. www.altamiraguitars.com/us-shop/p/n100-j5hml Small size guitars will be obtained through Brent Weaver.

Resale of guitars is facilitated by Guitar Department, so that changing sizes is easy and affordable. $465. Email Michele Horner with questions: Michele.Horner@bkcm.org.

Guitar students are required to bring their own stools to classes. This ensures that students have the correct height stool at home to practice as well as during classes. Michele will distribute a separate info sheet with stool options for children.
