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 you, the teacher, book their first lesson into the calendar. Lesson blocks can be purchased…
• from the student's dashboard within their account
• via the student's inbox in the message thread
• or through the email the student will receive when you book lessons for them
Students can also buy lesson blocks via your profile on Musicteachers.co.uk as long as they are logged into their account.
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 a student has lessons left on their lesson block and would like to change teachers, they can contact support at info@musicteachers.co.uk and we will help them with this.
Can siblings 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, the student has an additional 12 months during which it is possible to renew their unused lessons (with your acceptance). There is also the option for a refund of unused lessons. (price of unused lessons minus £3.00 processing fee)
Why do lesson blocks expire?
Lesson blocks have an expiration date because when the student purchases a lesson block they lock in their lesson price and your pay per lesson. If the lesson blocks didn’t have an expiry date, you, as a teacher 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 you, the teacher, raise your prices?
The price the student paid when they bought their lesson block is fixed, and their lessons will remain valid even if you increase your prices. If the student has opted for an automatic renewal, this will transition to the new price at the next purchase.
