If you are applying for lessons with us, you can request instrument hire as part of the sign-up process. If you would like to hire an instrument externally, please contact us: 020 8640 5446 or email admin@mmf.org.uk and we will do our best to help.
We offer different rates of hire depending if your child is learning with us or not. Members of our bands and ensembles who have external tuition may also hire instruments at the Music Centre rate. All hire is subject to availability and payment of hire deposit.
