Access to Music offers some of the most cost-effective specialist music training in the UK. Our courses are generally much cheaper than other specialist music provision. This is because we are funded by the LSC, we further subsidise tuition costs and we don't charge our students high course materials fees.

The following are the fees for Further Education courses for the academic year starting in September 2008. Students from outside the European Union (EU) or those that have not been resident within the EU for the 3 years preceeding the start of the course, should click on the International section.

Please note these fees are for Access to Music Centres. Partner and Associate Centres will charge different fees. Please check their websites for details.

 

 

• FREE if you are a European Union (EU) resident aged 16 -18 on 31 August 2008.

Most Access to Music courses are funded by the Learning & Skills Council. They are:

If you are an EU resident aged 19 or over on 31 August 2008 and not in receipt of benefits, you will be required to pay a contribution towards the cost of your tuition. This will vary depending on the provider. At ATM centres the contribution is £560: this amount is still heavily subsidised.
