ONE CLEAR NEXT STEP
From an enquiry to music at your school in Chichester
One conversation
Tell us about your school, existing music provision and what you would like to offer. We discuss suitable options and current availability.

Teaching and absence cover
We organise teachers and absence cover. Teaching can be one-to-one, in small groups or in bands of up to five, following the programme agreed with your school.
The records come back to you
We maintain registers, practice notes and safeguarding records for your team. Where families pay for places, we handle their lesson billing directly.
WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Chichester 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

- 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
- Your school has its own lesson page showing its name, address and available instruments. Parents use that page to apply.
- 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
- Your school provides a teaching room and time for lessons during term. We agree the timetable together and organise the lesson administration.
- One person to ask
- A named member of staff helps us keep lessons organised when a room, school event or teaching date changes.
For a school in Chichester, West Sussex, the next step is to discuss the space, timetable and teaching options that would suit its pupils.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Chichester depends on that school and its funding, not on who asks first. Ask and we will tell you what is available at yours.

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 ↗.
