Hiring an instrument from MMF can be a great option whilst your child is first learning. If you are applying for lessons with us, you can request instrument hire as part of the sign-up process.

To progress on their instrument, we recommend that all students practise regularly between lessons. Your child’s tutor will provide them with a practice diary within the first couple of weeks. Please use this to support their practise and to communicate with the tutor when needed.

Lessons will take place during the school day. Once assigned a lesson, your child will be given a regular lesson day. However, there may sometimes be some flexibility regarding the lesson time to accommodate other school commitments, such as trips or workshops.
