The 1st payment processed during enrollment - if you enroll after September, the 2nd payment will also be added (This will ensure the tuition payments to not extend beyond May). If you choose the 1 annual payment , a discount is given. The lesson book / band music is automatically added with the initial enrollment. In addition, you may choose an instrument purchase/rental during enrollment. Purchasing and instrument can be done in 1 school year or less by completing 1 rental cycle or purchasing in 1 payment with a discount added. (Note; there will be a deposit and 1st payment when you choose to Rent - the term rent is simply used to give you the option to return the instrument in good condition after 5 payments are made - You are actually purchasing the instrument and will own it once the payment cycle is finished)

Please Note; this is a purchase plan not a rental plan. You will own the instrument after the payments (No finance or interest charges). You may return the instrument at any point after 5 payments. However, there is no refund - the payments will stop once the instrument is returned to FMI in good condition. 

We are offering this purchase program to keep costs low for you while ensuring students have quality instruments that are appropriate for beginning students. In most cases, a music store rental will be a higher price than these payments and will last 5 years or more. FMI is investing in your child's musical future by securing quality instruments for a fraction of the cost.

If you prefer not to use the Instrument Purchase Program, please simply use the rental options on our website or any local music store of your choice. Avoid the "Big Box Store / Online purchase" as many sources are poor quality and can not be serviced by instrument repair services (Springs are usually substandard and construction materials are thinner and break easily)
