Musical Instrument Lending Library

Making music accessible to all.

At Community Music Collective, we believe cost should never stand in the way of creativity. Our Instrument Lending Library allows community members of all ages to borrow musical instruments at no charge — opening the door to learning, practicing, and discovering the joy of music.

Whether you are a curious beginner, a student between instruments, or someone rediscovering a lifelong passion, the library is here for you. No fees. No barriers. Just music.

Why We Lend

Access to an instrument is often the single greatest barrier between a person and the music they want to make. Our library exists to remove that barrier — for children who want to learn, for adults returning to a hobby, for anyone in our community who simply needs a place to start. If you have ever wanted to play and didn’t know where to begin, begin here.

Donate an Instrument

Do you have a guitar, keyboard, or other instrument gathering dust at home? Consider donating it to the CMC Lending Library, where it will find a new life in the hands of someone ready to learn. Instrument donations grow our library and deepen our impact in the community — at no cost to you beyond the generosity of giving it away.

Contact us to arrange a donation. We accept instruments in good to excellent condition.
