Instrument Rental Financial Aid
Instrument rentals for $10 a month (or less), period.
Yes, this is real. We're a nonprofit supported by the Canadian government aiming to give everyone access to music. Each student is given a maximum of $120 USD a year, no strings attached.
How it works
-
Apply below, providing a reason for your financial need (see eligibility requirements below).
-
Rent a keyboard piano from your local music store (e.g. Long and McQuade).

Other Details:
