We Make Renting Easy

Everything You Need for Only $29.99
Most stores charge $70-$150 to get started with your instrument and supplies, but at Ernie Williamson Music, we make getting started in band & orchestra easy! For less than $30 down, you get your instrument, book, maintenance kit, and music stand!

Rent-to-Own and Save
Low monthly payments, easy exchanges and upgrades, and save 30% when you pay your instrument off early! 

We Grow with You
When your child is ready to upgrade their instrument, just come into the store and see your options.  Our rental plans are designed to grow at the same pace as your child's skill level.


  

No Commitment
Our 100% rent-to-own plans have no minimum commitment and no hidden fees.  You know exactly what you're buying and can cancel at any time. 

Get Them Started Right
Get your child started right with private lessons for just $99!

Director Approved
All our instruments are approved by your school's band or orchestra director -- guaranteed.

Give Back to your School
We think it's important to give back.  Our Give Me Five program gives money back to your child's school for every instrument rented.  And it adds up quickly.  Since we've started this program, we've donated over $200,000 to area schools!
