Instrument Loan & Purchase
The Music Service is able to loan instruments, for a year or two (subject to availability), to enable pupils to ‘try out’ their suitability without the expense of buying. The teachers are then able, at a later stage, to advise on purchase which can usually be at a substantial saving on ‘shop prices’.
