PianoFunClub works with
schools providing peripatetic
music teachers to give
instrumental lessons
during school hours.
All enrolled students are provided with starter instruments to take home (for a small deposit) and teaching materials . Pupils don't need anything to get started.
How it works:
Schools allocate PianoFunClub a space to teach in and send out a letter offering parents the chance for their children to get instrumental lessons during school time
Parents deal with us directly – We do all the admin/scheduling and collection of fees
We can help get you set up with instruments to teach on if the school doesn't have any available
PianoFunClub teachers are used to collecting pupils from class, without interrupting lessons
Once the routine is established, the delivery of lessons fits in with the schools day to day routine.
