When you rent from us, you get a quality instrument that suits your student’s needs, your
band director’s requirements and your budget.
AAA Band Rentals offers only high quality instruments! With bargain/ No-name instruments, an irresistible price tag often reflects a low quality instrument. On string instruments, this can show up as very poor tone and setup causing both students and teachers frustration. Often the metal instruments are made from “pot metal” at a low melting temperature. It is difficult to repair, especially to solder, and adjustments don’t typically last long. Repair parts can also be difficult or impossible to obtain. Costly repairs and never-ending performance problems typically result.
We feel strongly that a frustrating experience for a first-time player is a terrible reason for them to lose interest and quit!

Ten-Year Study Shows Music Improves Test
Scores
Regardless of socioeconomic background, musicmaking
students get higher marks in standardized
tests. UCLA professor, Dr. James Catterall, led an
analysis of a U.S. Department of Education
database. Called NELLs88, the database was used
to track more than 25,000 students over a period of
ten years. The study showed that students involved
in music generally tested higher than those who
had no music involvement. The test scores studied
were not only standardized tests, such as the SAT,
but also in reading proficiency exams. The study
also noted that the musicians scored higher, no
matter what socioeconomic group was being
studied.

The challenge of the first few months
Equipment should be of quality that offers the
greatest assistance. Many beginners fail in the
early stages because the instrument supplied is not
in good playing condition or does not have the
necessary properties to make it play with ease.
