As one of the largest registered providers for the Asone Music Hub, our pupils and schools can access all subsidies currently available through the Hub. Further information can be found on their website HERE.

There are subsidies for children who receive school meals, children in care, those in receipt of personal independence payment (parent/carer or child) and the children of those currently serving in the British armed forces.

Subsidy entitlement should be marked during the sign up process under “Apply for a Discount/Music Voucher”. Please note that remissions re only available for one instrument per child and cannot be claimed retrospectively.
