Student Instrument Rental (Optional) 

The Junior and Upper School Music Departments require all students participating in an  instrumental ensemble to acquire an instrument for the school year. Parents have three choices in  the acquisition of a musical instrument for their daughter: 

1. sign an “Instrument Loan Agreement” from Havergal College;   2. rent from a reputable music dealer; ir  3. purchase an instrument. 

Members of the Music Department would be pleased to offer advice in the rental or purchase of  instruments. If you decide to make use of a Havergal College instrument, we will supply your  daughter with a top quality instrument and will take care of all the necessary paperwork and  repairs throughout the school year. Grade 7 and 8 students will not be charged for this rental  unless there are numerous repairs that need to be made. All families will be asked to sign an  “Instrument Loan Agreement.” Upper School students in Band or Strings who need to borrow a  Havergal Instrument will be charged $175 for the entire school year ($75 for percussion students).  An “Instrument Loan Agreement” will also be signed by US students.
