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

  1. Apply below, providing a reason for your financial need (see eligibility requirements below).

  2. Rent a keyboard piano from your local music store (e.g. Long and McQuade).

  3. Send your receipt to us, and we'll reimburse you in full. Each child is given a maximum of 150 Canadian dollars (most keyboard rentals are less than $20 / month).

​

Who's Eligible:

  • This program is designed for families with financial need. There is no specific income cutoff, and we review on a case-by-case basis.

  • The user of the instrument must be under 18. Rental agreements are the responsibility of parents.

  • Applicants may be located anywhere in the world.​

​

Other Details:

  • There is no time limit for using your $120.

  • We offer piano lessons at $10 / lesson. See our piano lessons page for details.

  • If you're concerned this is a scam, you can read about our impact here. We're a legally-incorporated nonprofit organization, and we're supported by the Canadian government and Google. We will never ask for your payment information (all reimbursements are sent via e-transfer or PayPal). Feel free to give us a call. :)​
