Ask about a multi-student rate when you book. Your exact fee is confirmed free of charge when you book a trial lesson.
What affects the price of music lessons?
Our pricing is deliberately simple. Every lesson starts from the same KSh 3,000 base rate, and only a couple of things change your total:
- Lesson format. In-home (a teacher travels to you), at our Membley studio, or online — all from KSh 3,000 per lesson.
- Where you are (in-home only). Within Nairobi the rate is the base; in-home lessons in the outskirts add a small KSh 500 per lesson for travel. Studio and online lessons are the same wherever you live.
- How often you learn. One lesson a week is the standard; two or three a week accelerate progress and scale the monthly total. A term is a fixed 12 lessons.
- Number of students. Each learner is priced from KSh 3,000 per lesson. Teaching two or more? Ask us about a multi-student rate when you book.
- Instrument and level. The same base rate applies across instruments — piano, guitar, violin, voice, drums and more.

Worked examples
These examples show how the estimator's numbers come together. All start from the KSh 3,000 base rate; a term is 12 lessons.
- Once a week — online or studio: KSh 3,000/lesson → about KSh 12,000/month and KSh 36,000/term.
- Once a week — in-home, within Nairobi: the same KSh 3,000/lesson → KSh 12,000/month, KSh 36,000/term.
- Once a week — in-home, Nairobi outskirts: KSh 3,500/lesson → about KSh 14,000/month and KSh 42,000/term.
- Twice a week: doubles the monthly figure and completes a 12-lesson term in about six weeks — ideal before an exam or recital.
- More than one student: multiply by the number of learners, then ask us about a multi-student rate when you book.
