If you would like to own rather than hire an instrument, you can get help with costs from a range of organisations: The government’s Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme will save you a 20% off the price of an instrument. Creative United’s ‘Take it away’ scheme provides interest-free loans if you buy from one of 130 selected music shops. Organisations such as EMI Music Sound Foundation, Awards for Young Musicians, Future Talent and The Westdene Fund offer grant funding towards buying an instrument. And, Horsham-based charity, Music for All provide advice and financial assistance, as well as donating instruments to those in need.
