Piano Leasing for Education

Musiq Group leases hundreds of pianos to schools, conservatoires, universities and hubs all over the country. It is with this experience in mind that your journey with us begins....

Our aim is always to help education settings to make their budget go further. Our experienced team are used to working with Directors of Music, Bursars, Business Managers, Head Teachers, Department Heads, Music Hubs, Parents' Associations, External Organisations and all others who are striving to broaden access to music for all students.

Musiq Group’s Education Leasing Programme allows your institution to take immediate delivery of the newest pianos while spreading your costs over a period of time. Your school can avoid price increases while making affordable lease payments, and at the end of the lease period your institution can continue to lease the existing pianos, lease new pianos or return the pianos.

  • Acquire brand-new pianos while staying within your operational budget.

  • Add or replace a significant number of pianos all at once.

  • Maintain brand-new pianos for your students, faculty, and visiting artists.

Leasing provides an alternative to buying and has many advantages over purchasing. Lease payments can be customized to work with your budget and schedule.

Musiq Group is immensely proud of our close working relationship with many leading piano brands and retailers. Musiq Group is brand agnostic and is fully able to provide all brands and models to meet the client’s particular preference. We facilitate the opportunity to lease a complete variation of pianos from Yamaha, Steinway, Kawai, Bösendorfer, and any other desired piano brand to educational institutions across the UK.

Every school is unique - and so are we...

Perhaps your school needs one good piano for the hall, or maybe it might be the replacement of a fleet of pianos, or simply a keyboard for a practice room.

Whatever your need, and however big or small the project, Musiq Group is poised to help you. The ethos of our company is that regardless of the needs of each education institution, the school with just one leased piano is equally important to us as the Conservatoire with the significant leased piano fleet.

We have solutions and instruments available for all budgets in all school settings with instruments from stock or brand new.

How does Musiq Group’s Piano Leasing Service help the Education Sector?

Each year education professionals are being tasked to find a greater competitive edge and yet resources and money are scarce, inaccessible, and fiercely competed for. The pianos needed to satisfy the demand for higher standards, greater competitiveness, and cultural enrichment, have inherent qualities which work against a school……………....

• Each year they become increasingly more expensive and therefore, less accessible

• Without planned maintenance they dilapidate and deliver reduced artistic quality

• And as tastes and cultural trends changes yesteryears piano stock may not be relevant to today’s cohort of students from across the globe

Meanwhile, for every moment school staff are thinking about piano repairs, piano tuning or bidding for capital budget, they are prevented from focusing on teaching, inspiring and creativity.

Musiq’s piano leasing service builds an essential bridge between when a school needs new pianos and when you can afford them. Musiq’s service ensures an affordable and sustainable fleet of the best pianos.

Can you remove our existing pianos?

Yes, after agreeing the supply of new pianos, Musiq will offer our services to purchase and remove any existing pianos that are no longer required with a credit being applied to the new lease - in some circumstances this may offset a whole year of your new commitment.

Can you relocate our existing pianos?

Yes, following the decision to lease new pianos, many of our clients decide to retain their existing pianos for use in other areas on campus such as boarding houses or other rehearsal spaces. Upon delivery of the new leased pianos, our team can fully take charge of all relocation of existing pianos as required. We can also restore and repair your current stock using our in-house team of expertly trained and experienced technicians.

Can you buy and lease back our existing pianos?

Yes, along with the supply of new pianos we also offer our clients the opportunity for Musiq to purchase your existing pianos and lease these back to you as part of a new leasing arrangement; releasing the equity in your current stock allows you to grow your fleet.

What about tuning and maintenance?

Our flagship grand pianos come with annual servicing included but we can build a tuning and/or maintenance solution into your lease for just one, or your entire fleet of pianos to suit you. Our technicians have hundreds of years of experience between them and are highly adept at understanding educational use.

What People Are Saying

“The Main reason we want to work with Musiq is that we have found an organisation that understands music making, musicians and the resources required to inspire creativity. When it comes to Musiq, you’re not speaking to a bank, finance company, or manufacturer: you’re speaking to a music services company that shares musicians’ values at a profound level.”

— Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

“It's been a cost-effective, sensible way to - almost instantly overnight - improve the whole fleet of pianos. We now have good pianos across the school. Certainly it's been a tremendous benefit for us to work with knowledgeable people at Musiq in assisting with choice of instruments, what instrument might work well in particular buildings and spaces, and having confidence that the instruments that we now have are being extremely well cared for.”

— Harrow School

“At the Royal Northern College of Music we believe and invest in the energy between students, artists, and audiences and we provide a rich variety of courses which train musicians to a professional level. Our partnership with Musiq is entirely in tune with our mission. Musiq provides world-class musical instruments for our teachers and students whilst delivering the highest level of integrated servicing and maintenance.”

— Royal Northern College of Music

Above all, Musiq Group is about delivering the best results for all our education clients from the outset and dynamically every day thereafter:

visibly when you need us, invisibly when you don’t.

Every education institution we work with is equally important to us, so whether your need is simply one high quality piano from stock or a fleet of new instruments, we would be delighted to hear from you.
