Financial Support
Where a family is in receipt of Income Support there is no charge to access Jersey Music Service’s provision, however, this is limited to lessons and associated instrument hire on one instrument.
The parent/guardian is required to complete a paper copy of the registration form, ensuring that section 6 of the form is completed and the original form is returned via post. Jersey Music Service will then verify termly whether the parent/guardian is in receipt of Income Support with the Social Security Department. No specific details about the Income Support claim will be returned to Jersey Music Service and this information will be used solely to confirm that a claim is in place. Should a claim not be in place the parent/guardian will receive an invoice and payment will be due. The parent/guardian will be liable for fees until the income support claim is verified by the Social Security Department.
Fee reductions are available for families with more than one child receiving tuition from the Jersey Music Service. These reductions are automatically applied.
Jersey Music Service has a limited fund that provides support to families who would not otherwise be able to access provision. These funds are available to provide help to students who need financial assistance. Any child attending an island school (or home schooled) in any phase or sector is eligible to apply for a Bursary Award. Further information can be requested from Jersey Music Service.
