3rd Grade Orchestra Lesson Schedule
String Instrument Care:
Ideal storage is between 65-78 degrees and 50% humidity.
Store the instrument in a place that would be comfortable for a child with no coat. Keep it away from cold and hot places. Do not leave it in the car.
Cold weather creates air with less moisture. As a result the wood of our string instruments shrink! Perhaps the wooden pegs become loose and the strings won't hold their tune.
Feel free to send your child's instrument to school so Mrs. Eisenman can use peg drops to help the pegs hold their tune.
