Cost
We are trialling a donation-based model for the online music school. We don’t want money to be a barrier and you can choose what to contribute based on your personal circumstances. Lessons are available in three suggested price brackets.
If you have any questions about pricing or anything else contact us at admin@tinderboxcollective.org
Pay What You Can
If you can afford to contribute towards the cost of your lessons it will help support the work we do.
Full Price
Full price is £10 per 1/2 hour lesson.
Free Places
Free places are available for people on low income.
Instrument Libraries
We are developing an instrument library alongside We Make Music Scotland, where people can loan out instruments from public libraries. In Edinburgh you can find instruments at the following libraries: Craigmillar, Drumbrae, Muirhouse, Wester Hailes, Moredun, and the music library at Central library. Plus there are more instrument libraries in Fife (Lochgelly) , North Ayrshire (Kilwinning and Harbour Arts Centre), & we hope that more open across the country!
If you want to learn an instrument at our music school but don’t have one at home, or if you want to try a new instrument, get in touch and we can help direct you towards the libraries: admin@tinderboxcollective.org
