Materials

Lionsmane Music Beginner Bundle!

Setting your student up for long-term success.

​

This bundle include all required materials for year one except your instrument and basic supplies.  This will be charged on your first invoice of the academic year.

​

This Bundle Includes:

Lionsmane Music Lesson Binder

        This is the most important item we will use in lessons beyond the trumpet itself.  Upon starting lessons, I provide the binder and its contents.  Over the years I will continue to add to the binder.  The material in the binder will last from 6th to 12th grade, should it be properly taken care of.  The binder itself will degrade over time, and it is your responsibility to replace it.  Should the binder be lost, it is a $30 fee for me to replace the binder and all of the material within.
