    Menchey Music Instrument Selection Guide

    Some physical characteristics (of both the instrument and the player) can make playing certain instruments easier or harder for each person. Menchey Music has provided a Beginner Band Instrument Selection guide. Please know that the guide is not written in stone, and that with the correct instruction and practice habits, students can find success on any instrument they choose! Only Band instruments are listed here - there are no specific regulations for students who would like to play a string instrument.

    You can also check out Menchey's Beginner Instrument Instruction Video for more information!
