Your school has its own lesson page showing its name, address and available instruments. Parents use that page to apply.
The running of it
We manage registers, practice notes, invoices and messages to families. Parents can contact us directly with lesson questions.

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
A named member of staff helps us keep lessons organised when a room, school event or teaching date changes.

School leaders in Derby can request teacher check records and discuss how the partnership would work before making a decision.

WHO PAYS, AND WHEN

    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 ↗.
