    PRICING

    Independence School of Music has the lowest prices for QUALITY rental instruments in Ohio
    A typical rental runs $41.50 for the first three months, then $28.50 per month thereafter, including rental fees. These rental rates include the monthly maintenance fee covering normal instrument problems. Our instrument rental program is a "rent-to-own" with the entire rental amount (less the maintenance fees) going toward the eventual instrument purchase. Also, your child may change into another instrument at any time with a nominal $15 instrument changeover fee, and you will not loose your equity.

    BEST VALUE$14.25 per month - For students who enroll in at least one month of lessons at Independence School of Music, we have a 9 month school instrument rental which starts at only $127.50 for the full nine months for a new, like new, or used musical instrument... That's less than $14.25 per month including the maintenance fee!  This is about half of the normal monthly price of a school instrument rental. This is like getting your private or group music lessons for free!  No other store matches this offer.

    Independence School of Music is committed to enhancing the greater Cleveland community by supporting school and community music programs. We are happy to meet with school music teachers to discuss the instruments their students need, and we are always interested in learning your views on the instrument brands and models that you prefer, always mindful of the music rental students' need to balance quality and affordability. We even have a program available in partnership with RS Berkeley whereby area school music departments seriously interested in purchasing new instruments, can try one for free.

    FREE DISCOUNTS: School Band or Orchestra Directors, please contact Independence School of Music so that we can attend your school's band or orchestra night.  We will also prepare flyers and extend special discounts on reeds, music books, and other accessories at no cost or obligation to the school or its students.

    FREE LESSONS: Each student who rents an instrument from Independence School of Music will receive a free private lesson to learn the basics of the instrument. Parents are welcome to attend this free lesson while your student "tries out one of our teachers"

    At Independence Music you can rent a Fender guitar, including a practice amp for only $19.99 per month.

    We have the most aggressive rental program in the area, offering most of the school instruments for only $127.50 for the nine month school year for students who are enrolled in our private lesson program.

    School Instrument Rental History
    While this is the first year of operation for Independence School of Music, the former owners of Prestige music have years of experience renting musical instruments to band and orchestra students.  Dave Kochis and Eric Dregne also have established a fine reputation among local school system administrators as the a good choice for band and orchestra instruments and instrument repairs for their school orchestras.

    While I was at Brecksville Music, I evaluated all of the national school musical instrument rental programs, and selected what I believe is the best run company in the school instrument rental business... RS Berkeley.  Their instruments are all new or like new.  Their customer service has been excellent, with door-to-door delivery of instruments within two days of my phone call.  We are thus able to keep our overhead very low, yet always have enough instruments on hand to meet the needs of our customers. Frankly, I have been very impressed.  While at Brecksville Music, I had several teachers try out the Berkeleys, and without exception they came back with great marks.  I have given horns to my repair tech Ian Indorf, and he said they were great.  Dave and Eric have both tried out the RS Berkeley brass and woodwind instruments and found them to be of great quality.

    I am so excited about this line of instruments, that I am happy to loan one out to any area school music teacher who would like to play on a great horn, at very competitive prices.
