How to make the ensemble fee payment:
Log into Speed Admin to view your charge state. You will need to select ‘pay with card’ where you can then choose the invoice/s you would like to pay. Click ‘go to payment’ and make the payment in Stripe. For any questions, please email info@nottinghammusichub.org.uk

Discount/Financial assistance
Nottingham Music Service is committed to making its activities as inclusive and accessible as possible. We are able to offer discounted rates and support for pupils/families who wish to access our ensembles. For students to be eligible to receive a discounted rate for joining an ensemble they need to have an entitlement of free school meals, not including the universal provision for KS1 students.

For those who don’t meet the criteria above but are experiencing financial difficulty, a reduced ensemble subscription may be applicable. Please see the Subsidy Application document below for more information.
