I am a parent and a musician. I try to be a reasonable as possible.
We recommend slide protectors for student trombones. They only cost $6 but can save more than 10x their cost in one year. Valve casing protectors are also a good idea. They cost a little more and do not prevent all damage but do protect against nicks which cause about 75% of the repairs on valves.
