Try Before You Buy

The first 12 months of your rental payments can be applied toward a Step Up Intermediate or Advanced Level Instrument.

Step Up Instrument Program

The Playground Music Center Step Up Instrument Program is designed to provide an opportunity for students to upgrade their instruments to a higher-quality level. Through this program, students can apply for a loan to purchase a higher-quality instrument and use the loan to pay for the instrument and any associated taxes and fees. The program is available to students in grades 6-12 and is available to all instruments, including strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and keyboards.

The program is designed to help students who may not have the financial means to purchase a higher-quality instrument. The loan is interest-free and can be paid back over a period of up to five years. The loan also includes a free one-year warranty on the instrument, free instructional materials, and a free lesson with a professional music instructor. Once the loan is paid off, the student will own the instrument and will be able to keep it for their own use. 

The Playground Music Center also offers a variety of other programs, including lessons, camps, and workshops. These programs are designed to help students further their musical education and help them reach their full potential. In addition, the center offers a wide range of instruments for rent and purchase, ensuring that students have access to the instruments they need to make music.
