Schools can ask to expand their music provision. We assess requests for more time while keeping the agreed lessons in place.
Ours to provide
- The instruments
- We provide the instruments for lessons at no cost to the school. Children can try the drums without owning a kit at home.
- Checks and training
- Teachers complete safeguarding training and enhanced DBS, identity and reference checks before joining the teaching team. We keep the records available for schools to review.
- A page for your school
- We give parents a school-specific page with details of the lessons on offer and an application form.
- 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
- We ask for one main contact at school to coordinate access, confirm dates and let us know about changes.
For a school in Brighton, East Sussex, the next step is to discuss the space, timetable and teaching options that would suit its pupils.

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 ↗.
