What to Expect:

Students will begin classes, and go through the instrument selection process. Once instruments have been issued, charges will begin. (Those may start on the same day, or up to 7 days after the day rentals are issued to students.) You will receive a confirmation email to let you know charges have begun. Once charges begin, you’ll be automatically charged on the same day every month.

Remember that instruments must be returned at the end of the season!

Instrument Selection Process

1. During the first several sessions, our teachers lead an "instrument petting zoo," allowing students to get a true hands-on feel for each instrument. Sometimes, a student's preference can change once they get to interact with the instruments!

2. Following this exploration, our instructors will make instrument recommendations, taking student preference, natural aptitude, and general body proportions into account.
    
3. Once the recommendations are made, instructors connect with the instrument coordinator to check availability of instruments in ESYO's inventory, and instrument assignments are made.
    
4. Typically students are assigned the instrument that was their first-choice, however there may be occasions when the second-choice instrument is assigned. (For example, this may occur when ESYO inventory does not support the number of requests for a particular instrument, or the instructor, after evaluation and discussion with the student, feels the second choice is a better fit.) Should you have questions or concerns about instrument assignments, please contact your student’s instructor to discuss.
