RISING 6th GRADE INSTRUMENT RENTAL INFO
Hello and happy June! The summer headstart lessons program is a popular program for rising 6th graders. Students will receive their instrument in June and then be paired with a high school lesson teacher. Lessons are taught at your house and the instructor works around your summer schedule. We find that a 30-60 minute lesson 1-2 times a week work best. The instructor determines the cost which is $20-$35 a session.
When school starts, students in this program should be able to assemble their instrument, hold if correctly, and play a recognizable song! They will become leaders for the other students.

Dear Parent(s),
My name is Dan Nickel, and on behalf of Music & Arts, I am proud to serve as the Educational
Representative for Cuthbertson Middle School. I would like to thank your directors for the opportunity
to share our Rental program, and I am so glad that you are supporting your child’s interest in music.
Since 1952, filling the world with music has been our vision. We are the leading instrumental music
provider chosen by educators across the country. Our 200+ Educational Representatives, 200+ Retail
Stores, and 300+ Rapid Rental affiliates support the start of nearly a quarter million new musicians each
school year.
In fact, we have a location nearby in Arboretum Shopping Center to help ensure local support for you
(additional nearby locations may be found online) and your child’s program. Our local presence
combined with our online offerings and my personal service makes us the most accessible, convenient
and affordable provider for you.
Some highlights of our Rental program are…
- You may return or exchange the instrument at any time with no penalty.
- We have a maintenance plan that covers repairs while you are renting.
- 100% of rental payments apply towards the purchase of an instrument.
- We offer special purchase discounts that are exclusively available to our rental customers.

Renting with us is simple. $14.99 covers your first month for most instruments, and then it’s only $30.00 a month after that. One Penny covers your first month of our maintenance plan for most instruments, and then it’s only $9.00 a month after that.
A couple things to note before you get started…Most of you will likely have selected Fall Delivery, which means your order will be available based on the selection you have chosen at checkout. If selected, school delivery (where available) the instrument will be delivered before school starts in August. That’s it! You can click the link below to begin your rental!
