No surprises
The per-session rate is the whole price. No tied contracts, no notice periods, no fine print — and the only separate cost is the ABRSM exam fee itself, when you choose to enter.
ABRSM examinations
As an authorised ABRSM examination centre, we host the November and March sittings on-site at our Kikuyu studio and register students for theory and practical exams across all grades. Exam fees are payable separately from lesson fees, at the time of entry.
We won't enter a student before they're ready. Ahead of every sitting we run a mock exam under real conditions, and we only recommend entry once you're scoring comfortably above the pass mark — so you're never paying an entry fee just to find out. How we check you're ready →

Pricing FAQ
You pay per session at the time of booking. We never charge enrolment fees, registration fees, or term-upfront amounts. Cancel any time, no notice period.
Yes — cancel up to 24 hours before the session and we move it to another slot or refund it in full. Cancellations inside 24 hours forfeit the session fee, which is how we keep the trainer's time protected.
Your first session with us is free — a full 45-minute discovery session with a trainer's full attention. We use it to assess fit, recommend an instrument and format, and answer the questions parents have before committing. No enrolment pressure at the end; we follow up in writing.
Yes — when two or more children from one family enrol together, the second child onward gets a discount on the session rate. Applies to all five formats above. See the sibling block above for the current rate.
We don't require termly payment, but families who prefer the predictability can pre-pay any number of sessions at the standard rate via M-Pesa or card. Sessions stay in your account until used.
Exam fees are paid directly through our centre at the time of entry, separate from your lesson fees. We handle the registration with ABRSM and notify you of the sitting date once your entry is confirmed.
M-Pesa (Family Bank paybill 247247), Visa and Mastercard via Paystack, and cash on arrival at the studio. For in-home and online lessons, we recommend M-Pesa or card.
No. The per-session rate is the full price. Sheet music, exam preparation, recital participation, and use of studio instruments are all included. The only separate cost is the ABRSM exam fee itself (when you choose to enter), and any instrument you buy or hire.
