How much has music school cost you

Work out how much you have spent on music lessons - and how much precious time went unused.

We assume a 36-week school year and one session = 45 min.

What this estimate includes

Fees use your monthly amount × 12 months × years. Lesson time assumes 36 teaching weeks a year and 45 minutes per lesson. Travel, practice at home, instruments and materials are extra; schools may bill fewer than 12 months. Adjust your budget using the school’s actual offer.

A clearer next step

Try the routine before you commit.

Prelude is a seven-day programme for parents and children considering music school. Spend 15–30 minutes together, work on one song and see what helps you start again tomorrow.

  • Day 1, free: choose a song and agree on a weekly schedule.
  • Days 2–7, paid: build the space and habits, practise, share a performance and reflect.
  • Keep a recording and a family report to discuss with a teacher.

This is a home trial, not individual instrument tuition or an entrance-exam guarantee.
