Fundraiser

If you do not own your own instrument, you must rent an instrument, either from the school or from one of the local music stores.

School instrument rental fees are very low – averaging $4 a month. This works out to be $40 for the year.

An instrument will be assigned and may be taken home after the appropriate paperwork is filled out and the fee has been collected.

You are responsible for all damage to the instrument above “normal wear and tear.”
