Musical instruments for schools across the UAE

Classroom packs, band and orchestra sets, music-room fit-outs and hall sound systems — supplied, delivered, installed and serviced by the same Abu Dhabi team since 1984. Tender-ready quotes, TRN invoicing, and a workshop that fixes things in days rather than shipping them abroad.

Browse the schools range

Every product below is one our team has picked as classroom- or ensemble-appropriate — durable, sensibly priced, and stocked in depth so a set of thirty arrives matching. Each item is also listed in its own category, so you can compare it against everything else we carry.

Classroom packs by stage

A starting point, not a fixed menu — tell us your class sizes and we will build it around your curriculum and your budget.

Nursery & Early Years

Hand percussion, shakers, tambourines, chime bars and rhythm sets — chosen for small hands, safe finishes and surviving a full term of enthusiasm.

Primary

Recorders, melodicas, ukuleles, glockenspiels and Orff-style tuned percussion, with class sets priced per thirty and spare parts kept on the shelf.

Secondary & ensembles

Guitars, keyboards, drum kits, brass and woodwind for band and orchestra, plus stands, cases, music desks and everything a working rehearsal room quietly needs.

Universities & conservatoires

Recital-grade pianos, practice-room gear, recording interfaces, studio monitors and PA for performance spaces and music faculties.

More than the instruments

The part that decides whether a music programme actually runs.

Hall PA & assembly sound

Speakers, mixers, microphones and radio mic systems for assemblies, concerts and sports days — specified for the room, installed and commissioned.

Music & practice room fit-out

From one practice room to a whole department: instruments, storage, stands, acoustic treatment and the wiring behind it.

Teacher training

We hand over properly. Your staff get shown how the kit works on installation day, so it is being used in week one rather than boxed in a cupboard.

Trinity & ABRSM support

Instruments, books and accessories matched to the syllabus, plus exam preparation through our own teaching team.

Servicing & AKM Care+

Scheduled tuning, servicing and priority repair turnaround — which matters more here than most places, because UAE heat and humidity are hard on pianos and wooden instruments.

Rental & trial

Trialling a programme, covering an exam term, or needing backline for one concert? Rent it, and convert to a purchase if it sticks.

Built for how schools actually buy

Paperwork your finance office can process without chasing us.

School procurement FAQs

The questions we are asked most by heads of music and procurement teams.

Do you supply musical instruments to schools in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE?

Yes. AKM Music has supplied schools, nurseries, universities and training centres across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai and the Northern Emirates since 1984 — from a single classroom set of recorders to a full auditorium fit-out. We deliver UAE-wide, install on site, and service what we sell from our own Abu Dhabi workshop.

Can you provide a formal quotation for a tender or purchase order?

Yes. We issue formal, tender-ready quotations on company letterhead with our TRN, itemised pricing, lead times and warranty terms — the format procurement and finance teams need to raise an LPO. Send us your BOQ, tender document or a rough list and we will price it.

Do you offer bulk or education pricing?

Yes. Volume pricing applies across classroom packs, band and orchestra sets and AV systems, and it is quoted on one document rather than negotiated item by item. Tell us the quantities and the academic year you are buying for.

Are your invoices VAT compliant?

Yes. We invoice as Ajmal Khan Mohammed Music Centre LLC with a valid TRN and 5% VAT, so the invoice is reclaimable and drops straight into your finance system.

Do you support Trinity and ABRSM exam programmes?

Yes. We supply the instruments, books and accessories used across Trinity and ABRSM syllabi, and our teaching team runs exam preparation. If you are starting a programme from scratch we will help you spec what each grade actually needs.

Can you install and set up equipment on school premises?

Yes. We deliver, install and commission — hall PA and sound systems, projectors and AV, practice-room and music-room fit-outs — and we train your staff on the day so the equipment is actually used. Installation is quoted with the goods, not added afterwards.

What happens if something breaks during term time?

We repair in house rather than sending instruments abroad, which is why turnaround is days rather than months. Schools on an AKM Care+ contract get scheduled servicing, tuning and priority turnaround, which matters most for pianos in the UAE's heat and humidity.

Do you rent instruments to schools rather than sell them?

Yes. Rental suits a programme you are trialling, an exam term, or a concert that needs backline for one night. Rentals can be converted to a purchase if the programme sticks.
