I'd get something of value that can be sold later-on if the fancy passes. Ask the teacher what are the basic items that are needed and start from there. Someone new to the guitar doesn't need a Flanger, Chorus or Parametric EQ.
Can the set be place in the garage or seperate room? Can sound absorbtion be utilized?
