Renting an Instrument Just Makes Sense!
Your son or daughter has just come home, letting you know that they want to be in the school band. Your first thought is, "How can I afford to buy music instruments?". You don't have to worry about the expense of buying an instrument, there are many music stores that will allow you to rent your child's instrument and this can not only save you money, but can also save you time and aggravation.
Many children see the band and think that they want to learn how to play an instrument. You go out and buy that expensive flute or that guitar and they play it a few times and it sits in the corner gathering dust! How often this happens in raising children as they change their minds so frequently. This is why renting an instrument makes so much sense! Music instruments are expensive and it is sad to spend all that money to find out it was just a fad your child was going through and that they weren't truly interested in playing.
Rent First and Then Buy!
If you rent your child's instrument, you can give them time to see if they will stick with the playing. This will allow them to try out the instrument to see if it something that they are truly interested in. Once you have seen that they plan on sticking with practice and doing their best at playing, you can begin to think about purchasing music instruments. This will save you a lot of money because you are able to try it out before you shell out so much money for something your child grows tired of in a week.
This way, your child can keep trying different types of instruments until they find a good match that is for them. Once they find that perfect instrument, you will know because they will not whine about practicing and you will be able to see the true enjoyment on their faces as they play.
Renting music instruments just makes sense, especially in this economy! Most music stores offer this service and it is very reasonably priced for most budgets. It is important that you check with several dealers to be sure that you are getting the best rate.
Check With Your School!
Many schools now rent musical instruments, especially larger schools. Check with your child's music teacher to see if this is a service that they offer. This can be a great way to save money as the school typically charge less than music stores.
As with any rental situation, be sure that your child knows that the instrument will be returned so that they must take true care of it and not be careless! You will be responsible for both damage and if it is lost or stolen, so be mindful of this! If your child is responsible with the music instruments, you should have no issues, but it is best to check behind your child to be sure that they are taking proper care of the instrument.
