Notes for parents and students:
Lost music: UVYO encourages students to keep close track of assigned music! For lost music, you will be charged $1 per page of each song for a replacement copy, to cover photocopying fees, the cost of tape, and the time of the individual who copies and prepares this music for you...so please make sure you don't lose your music! To obtain replacement copies of sheet music, please go to the rental/payment table and pay for the song(s) you need to purchase. You will be handed a receipt; please show this receipt either to your teacher or to the person in charge of handing out replacement music in your classroom. Thank you.
All for Strings books: Some UVYO classes require each student to purchase an All for Strings book (either Book 1 or Book 2). The cost for the 2019-2020 season is around $7 per book. These may be purchased at the payments table during rehearsals. Please keep close track of your own book and write your name on the front cover in case you accidentally leave it at a rehearsal. You may also purchase a copy online:
Music Stands: Each student is required to purchase and bring a portable music stand to weekly rehearsals. You may purchase one locally or online (these are just suggested stands, so please purchase one that fits your budget):

How to purchase a violin, viola, cello, or bass:
Most UVYO students will be able to rent a stringed instrument on a monthly basis, starting at $5 per month for violins (with slightly higher rates for larger instruments). If you would like to purchase your own instrument instead, please contact Kristin Parks at (541) 643-5035 to have a quality, well-priced instrument ordered for you. Please don't order your own new or used instrument online or purchase an instrument locally without having Kristin Parks inspect it first.
