Registration for the 2025-2026 school year is LIVE! All registrations are due September 5th!
Bear Creek works with many local music stores to give you options with renting instruments. We recommend you look through their websites to compare prices and talk to their representatives to see which option is best for your child.
PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE/RENT ANYTHING UNTIL YOU RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION LETTER FROM YOUR MUSIC TEACHER!
We recommend getting it looked at by a professional company, such as those listed above.
If the instrument is not in good condition, your child may not be able to play!
While the price seems right, the quality is not! These instruments often are made with cheap parts and require a lot of money with maintenance! Shop local - the rental fee comes with a warranty for you and most companies have a rent-to-own option!
BRANDS WE DO NOT RECOMMEND ARE...
CECILIO, MENDINI, EASTAR, ALDI/LIDL
BUDGET BRANDS HAVE A GREAT PRICE TAG, BUT BREAK EASILY AND ARE NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO BE REPAIRED BY COMPANIES! THERE ARE GREAT BRANDS THAT DO NOT BREAK THE BANK THAT ARE BETTER QUALITY AND WILL LAST LONGER!
Bear Creek has some instruments that we can lend to students for one time supply fee of $40*. These instruments are used but are in good playing condition for your child.
These instruments are first come first serve so please act quickly if you would like to be considered!
If you are unable to purchase/rent an instrument, please be sure to let your music teachers know. We often have connections to instruments that are discounted or for private sale!
*there is a rental agreement required which explains the procedures for repairs needed on a school-owned instrument. Please see the document below explaining what is included in the $40 supply fee.
