Some Commonly Asked Questions

| Is there an upper limit on how much I can spend? | No, but the rules of the scheme require that any instrument must be appropriate for the proficiency and ability of the child. |
| My child has private instrumental lessons. Can we participate in the scheme? | You may participate in the scheme if your child uses their instrument in music lessons at a Haringey school or in one of our “Haringey Young Musicians” ensembles. |
| Can I buy the instrument that I am currently hiring from MPAC? | No, these instruments are for hire use only. |
