You might be asking….

 

When is the right time to get a Performance instrument?
The musical experience starts with a beginning-level student instrument and expands to an intermediate or professional instrument with improved response, smoother actions and richer sound. Beginner model band and orchestra instruments are designed to be robust to withstand the learning curve of a beginner musician.  As your student progresses in their music education journey their student model instrument might begin to limit their progress.  They will begin to play more challenging music that requires more flexibility in sound or tone quality and range of notes played.  That’s where our Performance instruments come into play. 

 

As you progress musically and your abilities improve, so should your instrument.

The musical experience starts with a beginning-level student instrument and expands to an intermediate or professional instrument with improved response, smoother actions and richer sound.  These instruments are an ideal choice for progressing musicians in need of an instrument that can meet their developing needs through high school and college, as well as for hobbyists.

 

We encourage you to bring your student model instrument with you as we do trade-ins or if you are renting from Golden Music, 24 months of your credit applies.

 

 

Where do we start?
We offer a complete line of band and orchestra instruments from quality manufacturers.  GO TO THE PERFORMANCE INSTRUMENTS!  Selecting a step-up instrument Is not always as simple as walking into a store, making a selection and walking out. We encourage our customers to spend time trying out and testing the various models they have to choose from.  Spend a few minutes learning the technical differences and price points that are available. Once you have narrowed your options, we encourage you to go into one of our studios and play the instruments, compare the sound differences between your student model and the models you are considering stepping up to have a parent or teacher join you if possible so they can provide feedback. Then, once you have narrowed your choices even further you have the option of checking one out on approval. You can take it home, spend a couple of days playing it, and get your school director's feedback. When you are ready to make a final selection, you can then decide if you want to purchase it outright or set up a rent-to-own.

WHAT ARE PERFORMANCE INSTRUMENTS

Step-up instruments are typically crafted from more responsive materials, allowing students to play with ease and increased control throughout the instrument's entire range. Flutes and brass instruments will typically have higher silver content. Clarinets will be made of unique wood instead of plastic.   Our step-up instruments have popular features your student is looking for such as open holes on a flute, wood body on a clarinet, silver plating on a trumpet, and an F-attachment on a trombone. If you need monthly payments, we have several different financing options that are available to all of our customers.

 

 

Immediate Benefits of Stepping Up

 

Improved Response & Playability 

Refined engineering & craftsmanship combine with the musician's developing technique for a more enjoyable playing experience. The action is smoother and the response more sensitive.

 

Improved Tone 

An intermediate instrument is crafted with the notion that the basics of playing have already been established so the focus of the instrument can be less about learning technique and more about the science of sound, which creates better tone.

 

Improved Craftsmanship & Materials 

Our Performance instruments are constructed with the highest quality materials by masters of the industry meaning that your instrument will play better and last longer.

 

You can see and hear the difference! Stepping up to an intermediate or professional instrument is an exciting moment for a player. By giving your students an opportunity for the time and space to explore the options that are out there! 

 

Spend time getting to know the instruments you are considering purchasing. Play different pieces on them and experiment with different styles of playing.  Each of our journeys as musicians is different, so spend the time finding the instrument that makes it rewarding and easiest for you to play.
