Getting started with a musical instrument is an exciting prospect, but for beginners with no prior experience, it also presents the question of how you will get started with an instrument. While buying a new guitar, violin, and trumpet is a fantastic investment in your musical future, it can also feel costly, especially if you’re not 100% sure which instrument is right for you. At Musicworks Canada, we understand that sometimes, that initial cost of purchase can lead to some (very understandable) reservations and that many people may prefer to rent at first. That’s why we offer instrument rental, as well as extra practice spaces at each of our 26+ locations across Western Canada.
With our flexible instrument rental program and comfortable, dedicated practice spaces, we make it easy for students from all walks of life to dive into learning at their own pace and thrive with all the support they need.
If you’ve been considering music lessons but aren’t sure about buying an instrument first, below are some great reasons to consider a rental from Musicworks. Read on to learn more!
Why Renting an Instrument Makes Sense for Beginners
For many beginners, renting an instrument is the perfect way to start their musical journey. Aside from saving you the outright cost of buying, rentals allow you to get the feel for an instrument (as well as different models) as you learn. Key benefits, alongside the lower initial cost, include:Access to Top-Quality Instruments: At Musicworks, we offer high-quality instruments that are well-maintained and always ready to pick up and play. From professional-grade violins to pianos, woodwinds, brass, and even percussion instruments, we have a wide range to choose from all year round!
No Long-Term Commitment: If you’re unsure whether an instrument is the right fit for you, renting allows you to experiment with peace of mind and flexibility. With month-to-month flexibility, you can try different options as your musical journey continues. This flexibility benefits parents with children who are still actively growing, as they may quickly “size out” of certain instrument models as they hit growth spurts year after year.
Why Does the Flexibility to Grow with Your Instrument Matter?
The flexibility of instrument rentals is an important benefit for students looking to explore their musical horizons. As you progress, you may find that you want a different, or even more advanced model, or that there’s another instrument that’s a better fit for your preferences. Renting allows you to upgrade or change your instrument with minimal hassle and allows you to focus on what matters most: the joy of learning!
Our team is always available to provide guidance for parents and kids, as well as adult learners on selecting or upgrading an instrument. As you build your skills, we’re here to support your progress and help you find the best instrument to match your level and goals!
Access to Comfortable, Dedicated Practice Spaces
Practicing at home isn’t always an option—especially if you’re learning an instrument like drums or piano, or if you live in a shared space. For those who may be worried about their ability to practice effectively, we offer dedicated space at each of our studios to make sure you have everything you need to succeed. For students who want additional support, our practice rooms are a great place to work on skills with instructors or record progress for feedback.
