the Price of Cello Lessons

The school here provides free lessons in school where the child can use the school instruments. The requirement is however that they either rent or own a instrument to use at home to practice with. Of course they would like you to rent a good one as well. They give you information when your child starts taking classes. There were 2 companies we could rent from 1 gave a free month with 1 month rental to get you started.

We were quite happy to rent a instrument, however the biggest problem with this service is that it is not cheap by any means. Maybe if your child takes a cheaper instrument like a flute it wouldn't be so bad. But there is insurance and believe me when you are renting a cello for your child that is over 1000.00 you sure don't want to be without insurance in case something happens to it.

We rented one for 1 month and then got a month free then paid for 2 more months only to realize the child wasn't going to quit or really practice much at home but when I checked online and saw the prices of purchasing from a online auction it was the only way to go. We purchased a cello for 300.00 shipped with a hard case and the teacher even approved of the cello when presented for approval. I highly recommend renting and then purchasing if at all possible.
