LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
A school enquiry starts with its name and location, a room and a possible lesson slot. We discuss teaching, instruments and absence cover with the school, and confirm current availability before lessons are agreed. Each school sets its lesson price. Parents pay MML directly. After teacher pay, programme operating and job-advertising costs, MML pays 50% of the remaining lesson income directly into the school’s account each month.
WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Northamptonshire 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
- Teachers complete safeguarding training and enhanced DBS, identity and reference checks before joining the teaching team. We keep the records available for schools to review.
- 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
- 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
- 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
- We ask for one main contact at school to coordinate access, confirm dates and let us know about changes.
Schools across Northamptonshire can discuss lessons in Piano, Guitar, Drums, Singing and Ukulele. Equipment for lessons is provided at no cost to the school, with teaching availability confirmed on 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 Northamptonshire 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 ↗.
