Renting The Instrument
After I have informed you of your students instrument, you can rent the instrument! Take a look at the following information for renting your instrument:
Renting Options:
Long & McQuade offers a wonderful rental program and a rent to buy program. Take a look at the following links to see their information:
If, for financial reasons, renting an instrument from the music store is not an option, the All-city music program has a collection of instruments that are available to rent for minimal cost, or free. If this is the option for you and your family, please let me know, and I will take care of getting the instrument!
I am aware that many stores like Walmart are now offering band instruments. I strongly encourage you to AVOID these instruments. They are often made with parts that cannot be repaired and they break easily. This can be very frustrating for our young musicians.I am also aware that there is an abundance of second hand instruments out there. Often these instruments are in very good condition, but sometimes they are not. If you choose to purchase a second hand instrument, please have it checked over before you purchase it.
