Getting started
How Music & Arts Instrument Rentals Work
The online rental process is designed around school music programs, making it easier to find the instrument and supplies recommended for your student.
Find Your School
Search for your student’s school so Music & Arts can display the instruments and supplies associated with that program. Home School and personal-use options are also available.
Choose the Instrument
Select the instrument your student will play along with any available teacher-recommended accessories or school supplies.
Choose Delivery & Complete the Rental
Complete checkout and select an available delivery method, including home delivery, store pickup, or school delivery where offered.
Why families rent
Why Renting Can Make Sense for a Beginning Student
Renting gives a student the opportunity to begin on a quality instrument without requiring the family to make an immediate full purchase.
Try an Instrument Before Committing
A rental can be a practical way to start when a child is new to band or orchestra or is still deciding whether an instrument is the right fit.
Rental Payments Can Apply Toward Ownership
Music & Arts says rental payments accumulate equity toward purchase while you remain in the rental program. Exact terms are governed by your rental agreement.
Exchange as Needs Change
Students may be able to exchange instruments during the rental period. This is especially useful for growing string players who need a larger violin, viola, cello, or bass.
Repair & Maintenance Support
Music & Arts provides repair support and offers an optional Liability Damage Waiver at the time of rental. Coverage and exclusions are subject to the rental terms.
