Fees for the Main Centre
Students resident in some inner London boroughs may be eligible for full or part funding by their local authority.

However, the funding formula varies from borough to borough. All have fixed budgets and some require evidence of family receipt of main state benefits. LA funding is not available for second study lessons or lesson extensions over and above the standard 30 minutes. For further guidance consult the CYM Finance Officer.

Where students are not fully funded by LAs, parents are required to pay the balance of fees. Students from non-subsidising London LAs are also welcome where fees can be paid by parents. Owing to the historic constituency and social policy of the Centre, its fees are kept at the bottom end of, or below, comparable providers.

In the case of financial hardship, judged by evidence of main state benefit, low income or other special factors, bursary funding may be available, provided by the Centre’s supporting Foundation for Young Musicians.
 
Requests for bursary funding are handled by the Centre’s Finance Officer.
