When children first begin their instrumental studies, parents are frequently a little reluctant to invest in an expensive instrument and may instead consider hiring an instrument. Costs for hiring an instrument through school are listed at the bottom of the page.
However, whilst the school has a small stock of instruments to hire directly to parents, it may be necessary to approach an external provider. Below is a list of recommended external suppliers.
