Instrumental and Vocal Lessons at King Ed’s

Provisional Information for September 2025

PLEASE READ ALL THE INFORMATION CAREFULLY BEFORE MAKING ANY BOOKING

Most of our lessons are delivered by and booked through Dudley Performing Arts and are heavily subsidised. If you want to take advantage of these, you should book them as soon as possible. DPA lessons will start in the half term after they are booked (this is NOT true for piano and voice, which can be booked and started at any point).

Rates for all students other than those taking A Level Music

  • 20-minute lessons – £13.00 per lesson
  • 30-minute lessons – £23.00 per lesson

Rate for students taking A Level Music at King Ed’s:

  • 30-minute lessons – £5.75 per lesson (NOTE: this rate is not available for students on the Music Technology course unless they are also taking Music A Level. This is the 2024 rate and will be confirmed asap)

ANY students wanting lessons on voice or piano will book these directly with college and you will be invoiced by college for your lessons. ALL A level music students will also book their subsidised lessons on their first instruments directly with college.

For all lessons other than voice, piano or subsidised A level music lesson, these will be booked with DPA paid for in advance via the DPA system using the link below. These different systems will yield slightly different instalment payments but the overall cost per lesson is the same.

NOTE: lessons are offered throughout the year but Year 13 students can choose to stop at Easter before exams. Year 13s are therefore expected to have 27 lessons unless they carry on after Easter and Year 12 will be expected to fit in 32.
