Instrument Loan and Support

The school does have a limited number of instruments which are available for students to borrow for a small loan fee of £20 per year.

If an instrument is not available, we can give you further information about the assisted purchase scheme which allows you to purchase an instrument exclusive of VAT, or we can recommend retailers who sell second-hand instruments.

Please be aware that we do not have any guitars to loan. You would need to provide your own instrument should you want to have guitar lessons.
