INSTRUMENT RENTAL
The Normans Rental Scheme supports Schools and Music Teaching Services by providing children with the use of a quality instrument without parents needing to make a large up-front payment. We have a range of instrument types available at an affordable monthly cost, combined with the ability to return at any time after 3 months, with no further commitment. Payments are made monthly by Direct Debit and once the rental term is complete we allow the pupil to keep the instrument at no additional cost.

The instruments provided on the Rental Scheme are our best-selling education models and have been fully endorsed by our tuition partners. They are supplied with all the necessary accessories to get you started, as detailed below. Sizes available are also stated where appropriate.
THE ASSISTED PURCHASE SCHEME
As we all know, money is precious, which is why we work with a variety of local authority organisations to enable pupils to purchase instruments without VAT using the Assisted Instrument Purchase Scheme. This is a great scheme that can really help parents access the instruments their children need and save money. Please feel free to contact us education@normans.co.uk to find out how we can help your parents save money.

THE INSTRUMENT SUPPORT CENTRE
We have created a hub of resources to help pupils have the best possible start they can to their musical journey. These resources are free and can be accessed by Education Organisations to share with their pupils.
Our Support Centre is packed full of useful tips and FAQs which are available to download, meaning you can use them whenever and wherever you like. There are also ‘How To’ videos accompanying the information cards, giving you a more in-depth guide to the fundamentals of each instrument. If you do have any questions then our team will be more than happy to help, just give us a call on 01283 535333 or email sales@normans.co.uk.
EXCLUSIVE BRANDS
We have nurtured and developed exclusive ranges in order to provide our customers with the very best in materials and quality, whilst also maintaining a more affordable price point. These brands are tailored for the education sector and have been tested and refined by music professionals to ensure they are perfect for learners, giving not only them, but also teachers the confidence and knowledge that these instruments will act as a catalyst to encourage musical development.
