Palen Music gives you the most flexibility for your band and orchestra student

Why Palen Music is the best solution for your band and orchestra students.

You break it, we fix it

These are complex instruments. Something will go wrong: a stuck valve, a bent key, a cracked bridge. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens the week of a concert. We've seen it all!

All your child has to do is hand it to the director. We pick it up and leave you a loaner, so nobody misses a rehearsal or a performance. You never have to take off work. You never have to drive somewhere to ship it or worry about expensive shipping costs.

Our online plus local experience gives you the most security for the things that are inevitable.

You can always change your mind

Life changes quickly, and life for your kid changes even quicker. If your child decides to switch instruments, or decides band or orchestra is not for them, the instrument gets returned and payments stop.

We know what it's like to be a busy parent (because we are too) so we've taken all of the complexity out of every decision to make things simple, honest and fun.

You get exactly what your director asked for

We have 40+ educational representatives that visit schools throughout the midwest every single day. Their job? To serve music educators and ensure the next generation of musicians is set up to succeed.

Our representative visits your school every week, and because of that, we know exactly what your director wants you to have. Instrument brands, models, accessories, and books. We have it all loaded in - just select your school and you'll see it pre-selected for you. No guesswork necessary.
