- Checks and training
- Before teaching begins, we complete enhanced DBS, identity and reference checks and safeguarding training. Evidence is available on request.
- A page for your school
- Your school has its own lesson page showing its name, address and available instruments. Parents use that page to apply.
- The running of it
- Our team handles attendance records, billing and family enquiries, including requests to change lessons.
Yours to provide
- A room and a slot
- Your school provides a teaching room and time for lessons during term. We agree the timetable together and organise the lesson administration.
- One person to ask
- We ask for one main contact at school to coordinate access, confirm dates and let us know about changes.
For a school in Penrith, Cumbria, the next step is to discuss the space, timetable and teaching options that would suit its pupils.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Penrith depends on that school and its funding, not on who asks first. Ask and we will tell you what is available at yours.
Prices chosen by the school
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 ↗.
