Registration forms will not be accepted by the music instructors and must be completed online. We also strongly encourage you to pay the lesson fee online if possible.

There will be a String Instrument Rental Night in the Cafeteria at Quincy High School on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for those students who need to rent an instrument and/or pay for lessons. Lesson books (Essential Elements Book 1), shoulder rests, and music stands will also be available for purchase. We strongly encourage you to rent online at www.kandcmusic.com. You will need your school code number 2169 to enter the rental page on the website. You can then pick up your instrument at the rental night. If your student already has an instrument and you have registered and paid for lessons online, you do not need to attend the rental night.

The John Adams and Abigail Adams Orchestra Program is available to string students with at least one year of playing experience who are currently enrolled in continuing lessons.
