Reeds, Rhythm and Reinforcement

Help me give my students these items. The cost of reeds are expensive. I have a case that can no longer be used for this vintage euphonium. It needs protection while traveling.

My Project

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them additional reeds, especially for the beginning players, that go through so many reeds. I have a vintage euphonium that needs a new case for the bus. which needs reinforcement and protection. The drum will provide a steady, beat and pattern for the students that are working on their sticking and technique and tempo. By ensuring a steady tempo with the different styles of music it will be extremely helpful for my students to and myself. I will be able to teach and play the rhythms with my students.
