WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Cheltenham 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
- Families apply through a dedicated page for your school, with the lesson information they need to get started.
- 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
- Choose a school contact who can help with practical questions about rooms, dates and timetable changes.
When enquiring for a school in Cheltenham, or nearby in Gloucester, Stroud and Cirencester, please confirm teaching availability with our team.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Cheltenham 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 ↗.
