WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Wigan provide
You can request more teaching time as interest grows. Your existing arrangement continues while we review what can be added.
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
- 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.
Schools in Wigan can enquire about Piano, Guitar, Drums, Singing and Ukulele. We provide lesson instruments at no cost to the school; available teaching options are confirmed during the enquiry.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Wigan 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 ↗.
