Guitar Supply List
ALL STUDENTS WILL NEED AN INSTRUMENT PLUS SUPPLIES LISTED BELOW
Full Sized Classical Guitar
You may go to any reputable string shop to buy a classical guitar; however, we recommend Westbank String Shop (6301 Menchaca Rd, 512-326-4898, www. westbankstringshop.com).
Currently, Westbank is offering a FANTASTIC DEAL for a guitar/supply bundle (full sized classical guitar, guitar bag, tuner/metronome, footstool, extra set of strings, PLUS the “Classical Guitar for Young People” repertoire book).
Please talk to Mr. Hall before purchasing an instrument online. It is STRONGLY discouraged to buy an instrument from vendors like Amazon and Walmart!
