You will start, at the start of every school year, or when you first start at Tune up Muziekpunt, with 4 “starter lessons”. During these 4 “starter lessons” you’ll still have the option to cancel the lessons or change teacher or instrument.

When the 4 “starter lessons” have passed, you will be obligated to finish the rest of the school year, until summer (August 2025).

You can find all relevant information about fees on our website, under fees & payment .

Monthly payment amounts, are based on a weekly course of 40 lessons for one year. In case you start a course later within the year, you can multiply the fee per lesson with the amount of lessons remaining throughout the rest of the year, until the summer holidays.

We have several options available for payment:

• Pay the annual amount in one payment
• Pay the annual amount in two payments
• Pay the annual amount in four payments
• Pay monthly

When you choose monthly payments, the complete amount for the lessons, for a whole course year, will be spread out over the remaining months. Beginning from the first lesson you receive until the end of the course year including August 2025.

Keep in mind that, when you have chosen monthly payments, the monthly payments will also continue during the holiday months.
