How To Choose The Right Instrument

The most effective way to choose a school band instrument is to evaluate the three primary families (woodwinds, brass, and percussion) and balance your musical interest with physical fit, school ensemble needs, and budget.

Welcome to The Lessonface Band Instrument Guide!

Joining your school band is a terrific way to learn an instrument and play music in a fun, social environment. Choosing an instrument can be daunting, especially for young students new to music, so we’ve put together this guide to help.

We recently stumbled upon NPR’s The Young Person's Guide To Making Music. It’s a really interesting collection of blog posts and one we highly recommend reading. It’s also particularly pertinent to what we’re doing over here at LessonFace, namely spreading access to top-tier music teachers across all borders, real or imaginary.
