Instrument care:

For brass mouthpieces: (Sterisol is about $4 at your local music store and a mouthpiece brush is even less): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7haTc8lHSMc  

For clarinets and saxophone mouthpieces (Sterisol is about $4 at your local music store and a mouthpiece brush is even less): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J9P2rwlj2U  

For flutes (the cleaning rod and a small, dollar-bill-sized cloth will suffice for the inside of the headjoint and an alcohol swab from any First Aid kit will work for the area the lips touch the headjoint):  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2OD_0jPEcQ
