Basic Equipment

Each YOPW string player should have the following materials in his or her case:

• Rosin
• Dust Cloth
• Pencil
• Extra strings (used strings are OK for emergencies)

Each student should also have a mute, since music assigned at all levels of our program occasionally calls for one. An inexpensive Tourte-style mute is preferable, since it is stored on the strings below the bridge when not in use and is hard to lose!
