Why Popplers Music is the Preferred Choice for De Smet Families

Selecting a rent-to-own instrument for your child is a significant decision. While seemingly cost-effective online alternatives might appear attractive, they often fall short of the performance standards required by the South Dakota music curriculum. Popplers guarantees exclusively shop-adjusted and performance-tested instruments, ensuring your student’s equipment is a facilitator, not an impediment, to their musical progress.
The Complete Starter Package
We simplify the process for De Smet parents. Each lease agreement includes the specific instructional book mandated by the school’s music department and a portable music stand for home practice. Furthermore, we supply all necessary instrument accessories for proper upkeep, ensuring your child arrives at rehearsals fully equipped from the first day.
Dependable Support & Loaner Program
Musical instruments are precision instruments requiring attentive care. Our Peace of Mind (LDIR) coverage is designed for active young musicians. Should your leased equipment necessitate professional servicing or repair, we provide a substitute loaner instrument, guaranteeing your student never misses a crucial performance or practice opportunity at De Smet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do instruments get to our school, De Smet?

After completing your rental agreement online, you have the option of picking up your instrument at our store or utilizing our dependable school delivery service. Our dedicated Delivery Specialists serve the South Dakota area routinely to ensure local students have easy access to their music gear.

What if my student wishes to try a different instrument?

We understand that musical interests can evolve! During the initial six month period, you’re welcome to swap your current instrument for another. We’ll handle the paperwork to transfer your rental and any accumulated value to a new selection.

Are De Smet music students locked into a long rental term?

Not at all. Our rental agreement operates on a convenient monthly basis. Should your student decide to discontinue their participation in the music program, you can return the instrument directly to Popplers Music to end the contract and cease all subsequent charges.

How does upgrading work for students who advance in skill?

As musicians at schools in South Dakota develop their abilities, they may require a higher-quality instrument. Our popular Instrument Upgrade Program permits you to apply 85% of your rental payments towards a superior model. This makes transitioning to a professional instrument significantly more accessible.
