INSTRUMENT CLEANING TIPS: 

For brass players:  Use a mouthpiece brush or papertowel (NOT TISSUES), hot water and soap to scrub the inside and outside of your mouthpiece.  Rinse well and let air dry.  You may also soak the mouthpiece in mouth wash. 

For Saxophone and clarinets: Use a mouthpiece brush or papertowel (NOT TISSUES) to scrub the inside and outside of your water with hot water and soap.  Rinse well and let air dry. 

Flutes: Use warm water and soap to wash the outside of your head joint.  Be careful not to submerge the headjoint into water as it will ruin the cork. 

Oboes: Use mouthwash to briefly soak your reed, rinse and let dry before soaking your reed to play. 

Percussion: Wipe sticks and equipment with disinfecting cleaning wipes and let dry. Be careful not to saturate your equipment.
