Online Banjo Tutors
Perhaps your child has picked up a banjo and you want to support their new passion, but you don't know a clawhammer from a three-finger roll. It can be hard knowing how to help them get started, or get past that first tricky stage. Even when you can’t help with the subject, you can still help them.
You don't need to become a music expert. Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child's goals and how they like to learn. Then we’ll recommend a tutor we believe is the right fit for them — no guesswork, no scrolling through endless lists.

More than learning chords — finding their own tune
The right tutor does more than teach scales and songs. They build a rapport with your child, helping them find their rhythm and grow in confidence. It's about turning tentative strums into music they are proud to play, and lessons they actually look forward to.
This isn't just about learning an instrument; it's about developing focus, discipline, and a creative outlet that can be a real source of joy. It’s a skill that can support everything from music qualifications to simply having a way to unwind and express themselves.

Matched to the right banjo tutor — without the guesswork
Our Tutor Finder asks a few simple questions about your child's musical goals, their current level, and how they learn best. Based on this, we’ll recommend a small, personalised shortlist of tutors we would genuinely back for your child. It’s a recommendation, not a database.
Every tutor we recommend has passed a rigorous selection process – only one in eight applicants is successful. They are not just fantastic musicians; they know how to make learning engaging and fun, adapting their style to suit your child.
If the first session doesn’t feel quite right, our First Lesson Guarantee means we will find another tutor at no extra charge. We handle the details so you can be confident you’ve found the right person.

I am learning banjo with Alex. As a guitar player for a few years, I am finding the changing quite a challenge. Alex is extremely patient. He also gives you confidence, with his easy style and methods. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
