Choosing a Music Teacher

“I was most impressed with this website and will definitely be using it again. Many thanks. Sarah.”

Why Music Lessons?

If you're a parent you may choose music lessons for your children to develop a new talent, to give them a stimulating interest or to stretch your child further than is possible in a classroom environment.

Music Lessons can help a child to increase their confidence, enjoyment and motivation in an instrument and develop a discipline that can be applied across a number of subjects at school.

If you're an adult learner you may be choosing music lessons for fun, as a relaxing hobby or so you can join a band. Alternatively, if you're a concert pianist looking to brush up, we'll try and help you too!

Choosing your music teacher

Please use First Tutors: Music to find music teacher near you.

Discover through one search the most suitable music teacher for your needs including consideration of cost and location. Instruments include Piano and Guitar, to name a couple, from grade I through to diploma or just for fun.

Our profiles invite tutors to declare:

  • Hourly rates
  • Qualifications
  • Approach to tutoring
  • CRB check status
  • Availability (day, evening or weekend)

Remember, these are self-declarations, so you should always ask to see the teacher's qualifications and CRB certificate in the first lesson as a matter of course if this is a concern for you.

When you have chosen which music teachers you would like to hear from, contact and ask questions to up to 4 music teachers in your private member's area.

Confirming your choice of music teacher

You will then receive email notification as soon as your selected teachers confirm they are happy to commence music lessons or answer your questions. All that remains is for you to accept their offer at which point we exchange teacher and tutee contact details on your behalf.

Our Fee

Only when your match is confirmed as satisfactory by you do we ask for £4.99-£19.99* payable once online by credit/debit card. This tiny fee is dramatically cheaper than tuition agency fees and reassures our tutors that their enquirer is a serious adult. We won't invite you to release the details until the tutor has confirmed they can meet your request.

* Our one-off fees are variable and linked to the tutor's price per hour to make our service as affordable as possible
