Take it away makes it easy to realise your musical dreams...

Take it away is a new Arts Council England initiative to help you get involved in learning and playing music

The scheme will allow you to apply for up to £2000 of interest-free credit for the purchase of any kind of musical instrument . You will need to pay a deposit, and then pay the rest back in 9 montly instalments - completely interest-free.

Equipment, accessories and sometimes tuition can be included as part of your purchase.

Take it away is available through a nationwide network of participating retailers. ‘THE MUSIC TRADE’ is one of only 95 music shops in the country to pass all the rigorous checks in order to be involved, demonstrating high levels of customer care in helping customers choose the right instrument for their needs.
