Debunking the Instrument Rental Industry

The instrument rental industry makes it seem like renting is the most affordable option for your child to start playing. At Overture, we think there’s a better way. Starting your child’s musical journey shouldn’t involve navigating confusing contracts and breaking the bank. Our founder Richard Galime has wealth of knowledge from decades working in the music industry, and with kids of his own, knows exactly the choice parents face when their children want to start playing music.
