Dronfield Music Tuition

Affordable music lessons...

We strive to make lessons affordable for all ages and backgrounds and we do this by making sure we charge much less for professional lessons than any other local tutor or music school.

We have numerous ways of accepting payment to suit each student including, standing order, bank transfer, cash or card payment. Information about our standing order system can be found on our T&Cs page below. We also have a cancellation policy which is mentioned below.

Music education should be for everyone, not just the privileged! We're sure you agree!

Dronfield Music Tuition – Lesson Prices

Generally 30 minute lessons are ideal for children between the ages of 5 and 15. This gives the child the right amount of concentration time to stay focussed. Physically an hour can sometimes feel demanding especially for instruments such as drums and guitar.

60 minute lessons are more appropriate for later year teenagers and adults, you’ll be able to improve quicker and easier and be much more satisfied with your progress with the time allowance per lesson.

PRICE INCREASE from April 2025

Discounted Standing Order Information:

The standing order would be taken out on a monthly basis and is £56 for 30 mins or £110 for 60 mins. Ideally, if you could set up the standing order as close to the start of the month as possible it would be appreciated.

This payment is distributed over a period of 12 months and accounts for the 9 weeks. The dates for school closures are available on our website should you wish to take note of them.

We determine the standing order by considering the 9 weeks of leave we take annually. Consequently, we distribute the total amount over the remaining 43 weeks of the year. You will not incur charges for the weeks designated as holidays.

£56.00 x 12 months = £672.00 / 43 lesson weeks = £15.62 per weekly 30 min lesson
£110.00 x 12 months = £1,320 / 43 lesson weeks = £30.70 per weekly 1 hour lesson

Any lessons cancelled within the 24 hour cancellation window will be noted and caught up within these 9 week holidays to catch up. No refunds will be issued from April 2025, instead lesson credits will be added up to your account and taken within the 9 weeks holidays.

Things crop up and sometimes we can't make a music lesson. We ask for 24 hours notice to cancel and rearrange your lesson. There will be a 100% lesson fee charge if less than 24 hours notice is given. This can be paid upon attending your next lesson.
