I need to hire an instrument for lessons

Free instrument hire is included for the first term of instrumental lessons. Following this, instrument hire will be continued at our standard rates (from £11 per term) unless you are able to provide your own instrument.

We will automatically arrange for an instrument to be made available for your child's first lesson. Please let us know by email to LMPlay@leics.gov.uk if you do not require this.

Should you stop having lessons you can continue to hire the instrument however our normal hire fees will apply.

Help with fees

We believe that music should be inclusive and accessible to young people and are working hard to remove as many barriers as possible.

We are pleased to be able to offer pupils in receipt of Free School Meals a 50% discount on Paired and Group lessons. (100% discounts are also available for Looked After Children on all lessons).

Please note that we will require proof of entitlement, such as a letter from your school, before discounts can be applied.
