Instrument Hire

The BMS Instrument Hire Service enables students receiving tuition from BMS tutors or members of BMS ensembles to access to a wide range of instruments.

The service enables the student to take the instruments home to practice so that they receive the same opportunities to improve and develop their playing as a child who owns their own instrument.

Your child's BMS tutor will provide a letter with details of the process and indicate the size and type of instrument required. Please follow the instructions on the form and the BMS office will respond to your email with links for the Online Hire Application and the BMS ParentPay shop.
