North Yorkshire Music Service Fees

Academic Year 2026-2027

Fees are charged per term, with three payments made each academic year. 

Information about fee remissions can be found further down this page. Please note that remissions apply to standard group lessons only. 

Some schools choose to support GCSE and A Level students by fully funding or subsidising the cost of instrumental lessons. Please contact us for further information. 

The Music Service delivers lessons in the majority of schools across North Yorkshire. Where a school uses an alternative provider, we will advise you accordingly. 

Tuition fees are reviewed annually and any changes will be updated on this website.
