How we bill
Set it once.
Then it just works.
Private lesson payments are collected monthly or by the term by SEPA Direct Debit. Once your mandate is set up—which takes about two minutes—everything runs smoothly. Nothing to do each month.
Group Lessons are invoiced and paid for in advance.

Why groups work
More than playing
in the same room.
GMA group lessons combine musical progress with the confidence, motivation and social development that come from making music together.
Dynamic learning
Students learn by playing, listening and responding to one another in an energetic group setting.
Social development
Shared music creates friendships, communication skills and a strong sense of belonging.
Motivation & teamwork
Working towards a common piece gives every player responsibility and a reason to keep progressing.
Performance opportunities
Showcases and concerts turn rehearsal into a real shared achievement for students and families.
