Rentals & Repairs

 

If your student does not already have an instrument at home and you need to rent one, a few music store recommendations. If renting is not an option and your student and would like to borrow an instrument, please reach out to your student's music instructor, and they can help you get set up. Please note that families who rent or own their instruments are responsible for arranging all major repairs. The rental shop will be able to measure your student and assess the size of the instrument needed. If you have any questions about sizing before renting, please get in touch with Mr. Sundt or Mr. Hartley.
