Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

Do you offer an educator discount?

Yes, we have special pricing for educators and tax-exempt institutions when you order through the SDC. The educator discount is not available for online orders. 

To access our Director Price Guide or if you have questions, please email us at sdc@schmittmusic.com

What is the School Supply List?

Much like a core subject school supply list, this resource is an opportunity for parents to purchase supplies selected by their child’s teacher for music class. Educators can select from Schmitt Music’s available online products, and a custom shopping page is built for your specific music program. 

Orders are purchased online by parents and can be shipped to home, or directly to the school via our educational representatives. To get started with this, contact our E-commerce Team at onlineorders@schmittmusic.com.

Can I order products you don’t carry in store?

Yes! The SDC has relationships with vendors beyond what is carried in Schmitt Music retail stores. To see a list of popular school products available, contact us and ask for the Director Price Guide. If anything else interests you, just let us know and we’ll see what we can do.

I'm a music teacher. Can I buy online?

Currently, our educator pricing and large order bids are not available online. Please email the SDC at sdc@schmittmusic.com to place orders through your school or district.
