Starting to learn an instrument can be quite an investment - but an investment we believe is thoroughly worth it. We can help out with the cost of obtaining an instrument via our hire scheme. We hire violins (up to 3/4 size), cellos (up to 3/4 size), trumpets, clarinets and flutes to anyone living in the Royal Borough of Kingston. If you learn with one of our tutors there is a wider selection of instruments. See https://buff.ly/3PlKEV5 for more.
