LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham, 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 South Yorkshire 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
- 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
- We give parents a school-specific page with details of the lessons on offer and an application form.
- 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
- 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
- Choose a school contact who can help with practical questions about rooms, dates and timetable changes.
Schools across South Yorkshire 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 South Yorkshire 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 ↗.
