BUDGET PAYMENT SCHEME

Spread the cost of your lessons!

We’re pleased to be able to offer a way of spreading the cost of your music lessons over the year, paying by Direct Debit. It's really simple to set up. Here's how it works:

  1. The scheme runs over a single academic year. If you start in September, it's based on three terms' fees and 10 instalments. If you join in January, it covers two terms and 6 instalments; and in April, just one term and 3 instalments.
  2. We simply calculate the amount you're likely to spend during the period of the scheme – including groups, orchestras and suchlike – and divide it by ten (or six or three) to calculate the monthly instalments.
  3. The first step is to complete a Direct Debit mandate by clicking the button below. You'll be asked for your bank and a few other details, and our partner GoCardless will sent your instruction to your bank automatically.
  4. As soon as your bank has approved the mandate we'll get an email. We'll calculate the payment details, and let you know by email.
  5. The initial payment will be taken by Direct Debit in a few days, and subsequent instalments will be normally be taken on 20th of the following months. You'll get an email from GoCardless every time, so you won't be caught unawares!
  6. Once set up, the scheme can be continued year after year and we will contact you with details at the start of each subscription.

FAQs

What does it cost?Nothing! The Budget Payment Scheme is totally free to you – there is no interest, nor any administration fee.
How are the instalments paid?By Direct Debit. Please click the link above to set up your Direct Debit mandate. Sorry, other payment methods are not accepted.
What if I change my mind?You can cancel your Direct Debit at any time, in which case the fees for the current term will become due immediately and we will send you a statement to show the balance on your account.
Can I add exam fees and other extras?Exam fees are payable separately, but other extras such as groups and orchestras can be included.
What about extra or missed lessons?If during the year you have extra lessons or credits for missed lessons, we will send you an invoice or credit note to advise you. If a large credit or debit develops during the year, we may ask you if we can adjust the monthly instalments, otherwise we'll normally just leave it till the end of the year and then let you know who owes who!
Can I have the debit on a date other than 20th?Yes. Please let us know your preferred date when you apply for the scheme.
