9 out of 10 students on Musicteachers.co.uk purchase their lessons in the form of a lesson block, making it the most popular option. There is also the option to purchase lessons one at a time, or as tailored Lesson offers, where the individual teacher’s cancellation policies apply.
How to buy a lesson block
Most students purchase their first lesson block when the teacher books their first lesson into the calendar. Lesson blocks can be purchased…
• from your student's dashboard within your account
• via the message thread with your teacher in your inbox
• or through the emails you receive when the teacher books lessons for you
You can also buy lesson blocks via the teacher’s profile on Musicteachers.co.uk - remember to log in first.
Lesson blocks can be purchased as a single lesson or in blocks of 5, 10, 20 or 40 lessons. The larger the block, the less you pay per lesson.
FAQ's
Can lesson blocks be used for different teachers?
No, they cannot. A lesson block is only valid for the teacher it was purchased with. If you have lessons left on your lesson block and would like to change teachers, you can contact support at info@musicteachers.co.uk and we will help you with this.
Can my children share a lesson block?
Yes, they can, as long as they go to the same teacher and have the same lesson length.
How long is a lesson block valid?
A lesson block is valid for 12 months from the date of purchase. After that, you have an additional 12 months during which it is possible to renew your unused lessons (with the teacher’s acceptance). There is also the option for a refund of unused lessons as long as they were purchased within the last 12 months. (price of unused lessons minus £3.00 processing fee) Any lessons purchased more than 12 months ago are not eligible to be refunded.
Why do lesson blocks expire?
Lesson blocks have an expiration date because when you purchase a lesson block you lock in your lesson price and the teacher’s pay per lesson. If the lesson blocks didn’t have an expiry date, teachers might risk being paid a wage that doesn’t keep up with the general economic development. As the prices of electricity, food, and rental of rehearsal rooms rise, teachers must sometimes adjust their prices accordingly.
What happens if the teacher raises their prices?
The price you paid when you bought your lesson block is fixed, and your lessons will remain valid even if the teacher raises their prices. If you have opted for an automatic renewal, this will transition to the new price at the next purchase.
