Music and movement classes for children - newborn to 7 years.
As Kindermusik is not a franchise, start up costs are low and there are no ongoing royalty payments. You do not have to provide Kindermusik with a percentage of your income. Your only payments are for the training course, instruments/props for classes, an annual license fee (£45), teaching materials and home materials which you sell on to parents to cover your costs. You are also free to teach wherever you wish and can take the license with you whenever you move areas.
The total investment to begin running your own classes costs between £600 - £800.
