Using OUSD Music Instruments
Music Instruments
We are pleased to be able to provide you a district music instrument to use during the school school year for music classes. You should have received a form from your student's music teacher with instructions about checking out an instrument.
You will need both the instrument type and serial number to check out an instrument.
Please consider making a donation to the OUSD Music Programs
The average cost to repair and maintain the instruments keeping them in good working order for the students in our schools ranges from $20-$50 per instrument per year. We are requesting a voluntary non-refundable donation to the repair and maintenance fund. Online donations through the Oakland Education Fund are preferred, however, cash and checks made out to OUSD will be accepted through your student's music teacher. Please Note: No student will be denied participation in a music class or denied an instrument for loan due to a decision not to make a financial contribution. In addition, no student will be granted any instrument preference based on a financial contribution.
