LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth and Basingstoke, can enquire about provision. We discuss the room, timetable, instruments and teaching availability before agreeing a partnership.
WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Hampshire provide
If your school needs more lesson time, we can discuss the options. The current agreement remains in place until a new arrangement is agreed.
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
- Every teacher has an enhanced DBS check, identity and reference checks, and safeguarding training. Schools can request the supporting records.
- 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
- Day-to-day lesson administration is managed by our team. Your school has a named contact for questions or issues that need attention.
Yours to provide
- A room and a slot
- We need a room for teaching and an agreed slot within the school day. We work with you on a rotating timetable.
- One person to ask
- We ask for one main contact at school to coordinate access, confirm dates and let us know about changes.
Schools considering a partnership in Hampshire, within South East, can discuss their room, timetable and instrument preferences with us.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Hampshire 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 ↗.
