Booking Lessons
Face to face lessons in schools
Most schools administer instrumental lessons themselves. We charge these schools an hourly rate for our teachers to deliver lessons in school time. Schools will pass this cost onto parents and the price will vary according to the number of pupils taking part and the length of lessons. Please contact your school directly for more information about booking music lessons.
Direct Billing to Parents
A few schools have asked us to bill parents directly for instrumental lessons taking place during the school day. See below for our current charges.
There are three different ways to learn a musical instrument with us:
Individual lesson – These lessons are a one to one session lasting 20 or 30 minutes. Each lesson is planned specifically for your child and after only a few lessons they will be ready to join one of our groups.
Group lesson – This is with three or more students sharing a 30 minute lesson and is a great way to start learning an instrument, especially with friends!
Paired lesson – This format is a 30 minute session shared between two students and allows more focussed time with each student, but with all the fun of learning with a friend.
If only one student wants a group or shared lesson, a waiting list is started until enough students of a similar standard sign up. In this regard students can stay on the waiting list, choose an individual lesson, or another instrument if no groups become available.

Instrumental lessons take place during the day at your school, or after school at our Little Stoke music centre and lessons can be booked through your school office team, or through a process after speaking with our support team.
After a few lessons every young musician will be ready to join a band or orchestra. For more information on our music groups please see the ‘Join a band or orchestra’ section.
