LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across Leicestershire, including Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, 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 Leicestershire 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
- Instruments are supplied at no cost to the school, so you can introduce lessons without buying equipment first.
- 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
- 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
- Choose a school contact who can help with practical questions about rooms, dates and timetable changes.
Schools considering a partnership in Leicestershire, within East Midlands, 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 Leicestershire 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 ↗.

The service across Leicestershire
Explore the lesson formats, practical arrangements and next steps for a school partnership in your area.
- The music service for Leicestershire
Setting up music provision involves staffing, a timetable, instruments and communication with families. Schools in Leicestershire can discuss these arrangements with our team, including how we manage registers, practice notes and teacher absence.
Leicestershire is part of East Midlands. Include the school name and town in your enquiry so we can discuss its proposed provision.
- In-school music service in Leicestershire
Lessons during the school day give families an option that does not require a separate evening journey. For a school in Leicestershire, the first step is to discuss its pupils, available space and timetable so we can confirm what provision is possible.
If your school in Leicestershire is considering a partnership, ask how staffing and absence cover would work for its proposed timetable. Our team will confirm what can be arranged.
- School music lessons in Leicestershire
The lesson format is agreed with the school: individual tuition, a small group or a band of up to five. Schools in Leicestershire can ask which formats suit their proposed instruments and pupils, and how progress and practice notes are shared with families.
Schools in Leicestershire can ask about Piano, Guitar, Drums, Singing and Ukulele. The instruments and lesson format are confirmed with each school as part of its agreement.
- A music partner for Leicestershire schools
Before a school in Leicestershire agrees a partnership, we discuss the proposed provision and the practical questions behind it: staffing, teacher absence, safeguarding records and communication with families. The agreement sets out the responsibilities on both sides.
The school counts on the local pages for Leicestershire come from the Department for Education register. The 8 towns listed here help you explore those records; they do not confirm teaching availability.
