Materials & Resources

Please contact me if you need further suggestions or where to purchase any of these items. Many of these items may be purchased directly at Potters. Please do not rent or purchase your child's instrument without first discussing with me. Rental outfits should come complete with a case, a bow that has been recently serviced, and rosin for the bow. Sponges, shoulder rests, chinrest covers and other accessories do not come along with the violin/bow/case rental package. These are personal items which you are expected to purchase separately at the direction of your teacher.
