Private Lesson Fees

Our private lessons are priced at €26.50 per lesson. Each student receives 35 lessons over the school year, which comes to a total of €950 (including card fees).

How Billing Works

To make things simple and predictable, we spread the annual tuition evenly into 10 monthly payments of €95.
This way your fee stays the same each month, even though the number of lessons in a given month may vary. Over the full year it balances out to the agreed lesson rate.

We use Opus 1 for billing and account management. After your initial trial lesson, your account will automatically move onto monthly billing. You can log in at any time to view payments, check what’s due, and manage your schedule.

Trial Lessons

If you prefer, your first lesson can be a trial lesson and is charged as a once-off payment. This gives you a chance to meet your teacher, experience our approach, and make sure it’s the right fit before committing.
After your trial, your lesson time will be held and you’ll be moved onto our monthly billing system.

Sibling Discount 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

We’re delighted to support families with more than one student enrolled. A sibling discount applies to additional children, making lessons more affordable for families with multiple musicians. Sibling discounts are automatically applied to your account.

Frequently Asked Questions

💡 Why does my first month show €95, even if there are only 2 or 3 lessons?
Because tuition is calculated for the full year (35 lessons × €26.50 = €950), then spread evenly into 10 monthly payments of €95. Some months have fewer lessons, others have more — but it balances out across the school year.

💡 What happens after my trial lesson?
Your trial lesson is a once-off payment. After your trial, your lesson time will be held and you’ll be moved onto our monthly billing system through Opus 1. Payments are then taken automatically on the agreed date each month.

💡 Can I see my payments and schedule?
Yes! You can log in to your Opus 1 account at any time to view payments, check what’s due, and manage your schedule.
