Fees

Tuition fees are based on the duration of each student's weekly individual lesson and are invoiced in advance on a rolling four-week teaching cycle.

Exceptional Music Education in London and Online

At Beethoven Music School, we believe every student deserves an inspiring, enjoyable and well-rounded musical education.

Whether learning for pleasure, preparing for graded examinations or working towards advanced performance, our students receive personalised tuition designed to help them achieve their individual musical goals.

We welcome students of all ages and abilities from London, across the UK and around the world through our flexible programme of in-person and live online lessons.

Students may choose to study entirely in person, entirely online, or combine both throughout the year, receiving the same high standard of teaching, personal attention and musical development wherever they learn.

Ready to Begin Your Musical Journey

New to Beethoven Music School?

Every new student begins with our Three-Week Introductory Period, giving you the opportunity to experience our teaching before committing to regular tuition.

Begin with a Three-Week Introductory Period

Choosing the right music school is an important decision.

Every new student begins with a Three-Week Introductory Period, allowing both the student and teacher to get to know one another, discuss musical goals and experience our teaching before continuing with regular tuition.

To reserve your lesson time, payment for the first lesson is required before it takes place.

If you decide to continue after your first lesson, payment for the remaining lessons of the Three-Week Introductory Period is due before the second lesson.

Should you decide that Beethoven Music School is not the right fit, simply give at least 48 hours' written notice before your next scheduled lesson during the Introductory Period, and no further tuition fees will be payable.

Unless written notice is received, students automatically continue into the School's regular four-week Tuition Programme.

What's Included in Your Tuition

Every student's Tuition Programme includes:

  • Four weekly individual lessons with an experienced specialist teacher.
  • Lessons available in person, online, or through a combination of both.
  • Personalised lesson planning tailored to each student's age, ability and musical goals.
  • Individual practice guidance and lesson notes where appropriate.
  • Preparation for ABRSM, Trinity and other music examinations.
  • Unlimited access to our Musicianship Classes.
  • Opportunities to develop creativity through composition and improvisation.
  • Ongoing support and guidance from our experienced teaching team.

Learn In Person or Online

Our students enjoy complete flexibility in how they learn.

Lessons are available both at our Harrow (London) studios and live online, allowing students to choose the learning format that best suits their lifestyle, timetable and location.

Students may:

  • 🏫learn entirely in person;
  • 💻learn entirely online; or
  • 🔄combine both formats throughout the year.

Whether studying in London or from elsewhere in the UK or overseas, every student benefits from the same personalised teaching, structured lessons and individual attention.

Unlimited Musicianship Classes

Developing as a musician involves much more than learning to play an instrument.

Every student's Tuition Programme includes unlimited access to our Musicianship Classes, available both in person and live online.

Unlike many music schools, students are not allocated a fixed weekly musicianship class. Instead, they may attend whichever suitable class best fits their age, musical level and weekly schedule.

  • ♾️attend as many classes as they wish;
  • 🗓️choose different classes each week;
  • 💻attend online or in person;
  • 😊participate regularly or simply whenever convenient.

This flexible approach allows families to fit musicianship around school, work and other commitments while continuing to develop broader musical understanding.

Classes include:

  • Music reading
  • Rhythm
  • Aural training
  • Music theory
  • Listening skills
  • Composition
  • Improvisation
  • Ensemble musicianship

Attendance at Musicianship Classes is optional. As they form part of the School's Tuition Programme, attendance does not affect the tuition fee.

Student Concerts

Performance plays an important role in every student's musical education.

Each year Beethoven Music School presents two Student Concerts, held in June and December at the prestigious John Lyon School Music Hall.

These concerts provide students with the opportunity to perform on stage before an audience of family and friends in a professional concert venue featuring a Steinway grand piano.

Students are encouraged not only to perform their repertoire but also to present their own compositions and develop confidence through improvisation.

We also prepare and encourage students to participate in music festivals throughout London, providing valuable additional performance experience where appropriate.

As concerts form an important part of our educational programme, all students are expected to participate.

A Concert Participation Fee is charged separately to help cover venue hire, the Steinway grand piano, concert administration and event organisation.

Parents who notify the School in writing before the published concert withdrawal deadline will not be charged the Concert Participation Fee.

Billing

Following the Three-Week Introductory Period, tuition fees are invoiced in advance on a rolling four-week teaching cycle.

This guarantees each student's regular lesson time throughout the academic year and enables us to provide continuity of teaching and long- term educational planning.

Invoices should be paid by the due date shown on the invoice.

Attendance and Lesson Flexibility

Students may attend their individual lessons in person, online or through a combination of both, according to their preference.

Where appropriate, students who usually attend lessons at the School may choose to have individual lessons online if attending in person is not possible, helping to maintain continuity in their musical progress.

Individual lesson cancellations and rescheduling are managed in accordance with the School's Terms and Conditions.

Because students have unlimited access to Musicianship Classes and may choose from a variety of face-to-face and online sessions throughout each teaching cycle, missed Musicianship Classes cannot be rescheduled or credited.
