Your band student is advancing musically.  Now is the time to evaluate his or her needs and "Step Up" to a better instrument!

Fact: You've made a great decision in helping your child start a musical instrument. In a recent study of over 5,000 fifth-graders, kids who were learning to play a musical instrument received higher marks than their classmates in every single test area. Not only that, but the longer the students had been playing an instrument, the higher they scored!

Schmitt Music's "Bravo! Step Up Instrument Program" is about making sound improvements in your child's musical journey.  Let us help you "Step Up" to a better instrument now!

Your student's starter instrument is designed with the new musician in mind, as it is crafted to be durable in the hands of a beginner. Even if your child only wants to play in the school band, they will technically outgrow that instrument. As your student progresses on their musical journey, they will struggle to master more difficult techniques, and could become dissatisfied. A day will come when they will benefit from an instrument that supports their growing ability.

Our 'Bravo! Step Up' instruments are selected for the student who is ready to take that next step musically. These instruments are designed for the advancing student, to help them achieve their maximum potential. 'Bravo! Step Up' instruments include models from popular makers like Yamaha, Selmer, Getzen, CXL, Leblanc and Buffet.

The difference between a beginner instrument and a 'Bravo! Step Up' are not usually obvious visually. Here's what you will notice with a "Step Up" instrument:

• Craftsmanship and quality materials used in construction.
• Improved instrument response and richness of sound leads to improved musicianship and musical enjoyment for your student.

The skilled craftsmanship and higher quality material of a 'Step Up' instrument, combined with the skill level of your musician, gives your student the best chance at success.
