Renting *
Please wait to rent until the beginning of the school year when I/a music store can accurately size your child. Many students grow quite a lot during summer months and this can change their size selection of instrument, especially if they are on the border between two sizes. I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST purchasing an instrument because they will not stay at their size forever. It is very unlikely that a student will be a full size at the beginning of the year, and playing on an instrument that is too large can cause pain, sometimes permanently. If you are desperately seeking information regarding stores to rent from, I am happy to provide further information by email request. **If your student qualifies for free or reduced lunch, they have the option of renting through the FCPS Instruments For All program. If you wish to take advantage of this program, please indicate this below. (Instrument choices are limited to violin/viola.)
