Step Up!

It's time to step up to a performance level instrument!

An Exciting Time For Your Young Player

If your child has been playing in school band for at least a year, they can now move from their student rental horn to a performance level instrument that will help them excel throughout high school and even into college! Your student will sound even better...and your band director will thank your for it!

• If you are currently renting from Portman's Music, up to 13 months of your rental payments can be applied to the purchase of a performance level instrument.
• If you are not renting from Portman's and you are playing a used instrument, you can trade in your old instrument towards a new performance instrument

• Low Monthly Payments
• No Down Payment
• Worry-Free Extended Service Policies Available

Why Should a Student Step Up?

The instruments that we use for beginning band are high quality starter-level instruments designed to be easy for beginners to play. These instruments are built to rigid specifications, so that they will stand up to the demands of first year players.

As a player develops musically and physically, the demands on the instrument change. Advanced players are able to outperform the limits of the beginner instrument. Advancing players require "performance level" instruments. These instruments will not only help your player to produce better tone quality and a bigger sound but also allows for better tuning and technique. This upgrade allows the student to continue advancing to become a better player.
