WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Brentwood provide
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
- Lesson instruments are free to the school. The teacher brings the equipment and takes it away after teaching.
- 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
- We give parents a school-specific page with details of the lessons on offer and an application form.
- 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
- Provide a suitable room and agree a rotating lesson time with us to help children avoid repeatedly missing the same subject.
- One person to ask
- A named member of staff helps us keep lessons organised when a room, school event or teaching date changes.
For a school in Brentwood, Essex, 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 Brentwood 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 ↗.
