Our fees are payable each term (in line with Derbyshire County Council's term dates).

 

The fee payable for a term of weekly sessions which includes sheet music and instrument hire is £30 per term (£15 for additional learners from the same household).

​​

We do offer a discount to people from low income families; please do let us know in confidence if this applies to you.

UNIFORM (Junior Band)

​

​Our juniors are encouraged to wear New Mills Band sweatshirts when taking part in Junior Band performances. These are available to purchase for £13 (the Band will buy back for £6.50, assuming in good condition, in the future).

​There is no obligation to buy one however and they can instead be loaned for performances as and when needed.
