Setting Up for Success
Equipment & Music
Having the right size guitar and posture tools makes playing comfortable, natural, and rewarding for growing children.
It is essential that each student possess the following pieces of equipment:
- A Classical Guitar — appropriately sized, of sufficient quality and tone
- A Stool — appropriately sized for the student's height
- An Adjustable Music Stand
- An Adjustable Footstool — preferably black
- The Appropriate Music — Suzuki guitar books and recordings
- Concert AttireBoys: Black dress pants, black tie, black socks, dress shoes, white long-sleeved shirt.
Girls: Black dress pants, black stockings, dress shoes, white long-sleeved blouse. - Supplemental Music Supplies — as necessary (i.e. flashcards, sight-reading or rhythm books, ensemble music, etc.)
Not sure how to buy or size a classical guitar?
Mark personally measures each child and can point you to trusted local sources for quality fractional and full-size classical guitars.
