All students are welcome to purchase any anthology of broadway songs I recommend this one it has so many songs and the kids are usually familiar with them:
https://www.amazon.com/Kids-Musical-Theatre-Collection-Vocal/dp/1423483251/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=hal+leonard+broadway+for+kids&qid=1567003346&s=gateway&sr=8-2
Except for keyboards, instruments are not provided to the students. Violins and flutes must be rented or purchased by families.
I highly recommend that instruments are NOT purchased from the internet. Though sometimes you may find a better deal, many times instruments will not come assembled properly and any problems instruments have will need to be taken to a music repair shop anyway which is a lot of aggrivation.
I do recommend Sam Ash music store in Edison for purchase or rental of Flutes and Violins. They take care of repairs and have very high quality instruments for purchase. They also have a rent to buy program, which is great especially if this is your students first year.
