Before you choose
Choose the lesson route that fits your budget, confidence and local availability.
If you are still deciding, compare manual and automatic lesson types, see what a first lesson usually feels like, and get a clearer idea of how many lessons you may need before you commit.
Pay as you go
Best if you want flexibility week to week, want to try a first lesson before committing, or need time to decide which lesson type suits you best.
Block bookings
Best if you already know you can learn regularly and want to save money while keeping steady progress from one lesson to the next.
First booking admin fee
A one-off £3 admin fee is added to your first booking only, then your normal lesson price applies based on lesson type, timing and local availability.
Check the most accurate price in your area
Lesson prices can vary slightly depending on location, instructor type, lesson time and availability. Automatic availability can also be tighter in some areas, so postcode search is the best way to see the most accurate option before you book.
If you want local lesson information first, compare Northampton, Kettering, Wellingborough, Rushden, or the full Northamptonshire lesson hub.
