PRACTICAL HELP FOR SCHOOL MUSIC
Build a music budget with the unknowns visible.
Separate equipment, teaching and school coordination costs, then compare realistic ways to start. Use your own figures rather than assumed lesson prices.
Separate setup and ongoing costs.
List any equipment, repairs, storage and room preparation. Then record teaching, staffing and other recurring costs over a clear period. Check what an external provider includes before comparing options.
Show the assumptions behind the total.
Write down the number of weeks, intended participation and any staff time allowance. Use the same tax basis throughout. The free budget tool calculates from your figures and does not add VAT or recommend a charge to families.
Consider access and a phased start.
Review your school’s funding and inclusion arrangements. Check whether suitable instruments can be reused, repaired, borrowed or hired. A smaller first group can make the practical arrangements easier to assess before expanding.

Ask MML about the instruments, lesson format, teaching availability and arrangements for your school. The planning tool is free; its figures are not an MML quotation or a booking.
