Each school chooses its lesson price. After teacher pay, programme operating costs and job-advertising costs, MML pays 50% of the remaining lesson income directly into the school’s account each month. See school prices and monthly payouts ↗.
Family lesson payments
Parents contract with My Music Lessons and pay us directly at the price their school chooses. See pricing and monthly payouts ↗.
