Step 2: Obtain an Instrument

Option 1

Go Local

The most common way instruments are obtained is by participating in the rent-to-own program through a local business. H&H Music Company works hand in hand with directors at West Lake Middle School to ensure a quality instrument and a seamless process. Most parents choose this route.

Option 3

District Owned Instrument Rental Fees

If your child is using an instrument that is owned and maintained by Humble ISD, they will need to pay their annual maintenance/cleaning fee. This does not apply to instruments that are rented or purchased through third-party companies.

This typically applies to the following instruments: oboe, bassoon, French horn, euphonium, and tuba.

Download Tonal Energy App
or buy a tuner/metronome

We use an app called Tonal Energy on an almost daily basis. If your child has a phone, they will absolutely need this app. It is $5 on the app store.

If your child doesn't have a phone, they will need a handheld metronome/tuner combination. These cost about $30 on Amazon.

I don't want the app
