We ask that you order at least 10 finger guides as minimum. This allows us to more easily provide FFG For Schools at an affordable prices and stay profitable. 

To ensure all programs can benefit from our program, please limit 1 finger guide per student per order. This allows us to serve the most amount of schools and not stock out of product. Finger guides are not for resale.

Simply communicate your needs and we will do our best to accommodate.

We recommend the D Major Beginner Guide for your very beginners. As they gain confidence in playing and begin working in different keys I would then transition to the Intermediate All Notes Guide. In my own orchestra, after their second or third concert we remove the D Major Guide and we play with no guide for about a month or so to help increase awareness of how to play in tune without a finger guide. As we start moving into different keys and introduce sharps and flats I introduce the Intermediate All Notes Guide. By the end of year two the Intermediate All Notes Guide is removed. I have found the students are able to visualize the guide and that it is not necessary beyond their 2nd year of middle school orchestra.

You can pay using a credit card or create a proposal and pay with school purchase order. We can also create an online pop-up orchestra store (demo store) for families to pay with credit card.

Over the years I have always been frustrated with the imbalance in cost to play violin, viola, cello and bass. For example when students or teachers need to buy new strings, the violinist will pay $20 to $30 but the bass and cello players are paying $60 to $150 for strings. I figured that since I own the business and I am also an orchestra teacher I could simplify and equalize the cost. Each program is different and we want every orchestra program to have the flexibility to succeed. $6 per guide no matter the size or instrument.

We suggest first to see if you can find the resources in your own school community. Consider reaching out to your administrator, PTO or a supportive donor in your community. In addition, we can provide a web portal for your families to pay Fantastic Finger Guides directly with a credit card. For a beginning class of 20 students your cost would be $120 at $6 per guide no matter the instruments and sizes.
