In addition to being fun, music lessons are a terrific way to help your child improve his or her performance in school. Research shows that children who take music lessons for just one year improve their test scores by an average of 20%. What other after school activity has that kind of direct impact on school performance?

At Creative Music Center, we also rent instruments! We believe quality, name brand musical instruments are the key to success for beginner band and orchestra students. That’s why we carry only the best, from Yamaha woodwinds and Yamaha brass to the Conn Selmer family of instruments, as well as Jupiter, Gemeinhardt flutes and Buffet clarinets. Our string instruments – violins, violas and cellos – are also from top manufacturers, including Yamaha and Eastman, among others. Our strings are always in tune and ready to play!

Even better, our rental prices are reasonable, starting at just $20 per month, and school delivery is always convenient and free! Each and every rental payment (excluding tax and insurance) goes towards the purchase of your school rental instrument, or can be used towards the purchase of a new intermediate or professional horn!

At our music store, which services school music programs all over the state of Connecticut, you will find a vast selection of competitively priced student and professional horns. We carry the popular Bach Stradivarius trumpet, the Yamaha Xeno trumpet, the Selmer alto sax, the Buffet R-13 clarinet, and more. And, with only a credit card deposit, we allow all of our intermediate and professional instruments to be play-tested in the comfort of your home or tested by your private music instructor before purchasing it. In fact, we encourage customers to try several different horns both in the music store and at home, prior to making a final decision. Buying a musical instrument is an extremely personal decision, and our job is to help you make the right decision for you by allowing you every opportunity to play the instrument in different environments.

However, if you need help deciding which instrument or accessory to buy, our courteous and knowledgeable sales staff is always ready to help during regular business hours.
