Because places are limited for music lessons out of school hours, we operate a waiting list therefore these lessons need to be approved before you can pay for them.  To make a request for out of school lessons:

• Log in and click ‘Store’ then select ‘Music Lessons Store’ (top right of the page)
• Choose your instrument then select the pupil 
• In the drop down for ‘Lesson type & price’ make sure you select Out Of School – 20 minute or 30 minute
• You will then be given the option to select Saturday or Tuesday
• Please enter any comments that may assist Enfield Music Service and click continue to send your request.

You will not be asked to pay at this point and will see a message on screen that EMS will contact you to discuss availability and to let you know what you need to do next.

You do not need to re-request out of school lessons each term - your original request will remain on the waiting list until we are able to offer you a place or you advise us you no longer wish to remain on the list.

If you are making a new request and have no preference for Saturday or Tuesday, please leave both boxes un-ticked and confirm that in the comment section.
