Instrument Rental

In keeping with our mission of making music for everyone regardless of financial means, CMC offers discount instrument rentals for most instruments.

How to rent an instrument:

CMC only rents instruments to students currently enrolled at CMC.  Mission Branch students should notify the registrar that they will be renting an instrument when they have their registration appointment. Registrars prepare rentals and arrange a pick up time before the student’s first scheduled lesson.  Richmond Branch should notify the Richmond Registrar about any rental needs, so their request can be sent to the Mission Branch for pick up.

Fees: A quarterly rental fee of $35  or $50 (cellos) and a $30 refundable deposit is due at the time of rental.

Policies:

• CMC rents instruments to students currently enrolled at CMC.
• Instruments must be returned by the student’s last lesson unless the student re-enrolls in future quarters.
• If a rental instrument is not returned within seven days of the student’s last lesson, renters forfeit the refundable deposit.
• Students will be charged the replacement fee​ of any lost, damaged, or  stolen instruments.

How to donate an instrument: Please fill out our In-Kind Donation Form to begin the process of donating an instrument to Community Music Center. Donations are tax deductible and a confirmation thank you letter will be sent from CMC. Thank you for bringing opportunity to more students with your donation!
