We believe that music, and good quality music education, should be available to everyone, regardless of age, ability or anything else, everyone should have the chance to learn. Sadly proper piano and keyboard lessons aren't available in general education and there's a lot of educators around who only offer very poor quality or limited learning or charge "elite" prices. AngleseyMusic does not subscribe to the attitude of charging high prices, preferring to keep lessons accessible to all.
When we started AngleseyMusic in 2015, we decided that our pricing should respect the diversity of the population on Anglesey. Where we have to charge a minimum amount to enable us to keep our business operating successfully with stability and allow our teachers to make a living so they can give their full commitment to music education, we are keep our prices below the national recommended private music teacher prices as we feel that these prices wouldn't allow people from specific areas of the island the chance to take on music lessons.
We all face financial difficulties at times, especially in the current financial environment, all have other things that we need to pay for in our lives, music should not be something kept for those who earn well. Its for you, for me and for all. Most of our teachers are parents themselves and we know that there is always a struggle to not only to find a reliable and competent teacher, but one who will not over charge for the privilege of teaching.
We have calculated our prices to be the lowest we can possibly offer and is therefore none-negotiable and we do not offer discounts, we show that you can have an amazing, qualified, experienced teacher who puts music and yours and your children's education as more important than money. It's this reason that we set our prices as low as we possibly can whilst maintaining the quality of education and ensuring that our business and teachers will stay around for many years offering music lessons to multiple generations.
Pricing aside, we made the conscious decision to offer weekly payment on top of block booking, monthly and lump sum payments. Many teachers charge only by term, quarterly or monthly and charge for planned absences. We charge weekly and, within fair reason, never charge for missed lessons. This keeps our lessons accessible and affordable to as many people as we can. We also offer payment via autopay on credit card, credit or debit card, bank transfer or cash all to keep the lesson costs as flexible as possible.
In return for keeping our prices as low and as competitive as we can, we do ask for fairness from our students, that payments are received on time. We do always charge extra for late payments to protect our business, especially when there are the payment options above to avoid this. We also rarely offer fortnightly or ad hoc lesson, however these can be offered at the discretion of each individual teacher and carries a minimum lesson length for each session.
AngleseyMusic offers the areas most experienced, qualified and in-demand teachers for a price that says music really is for everyone.
