Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is your chance to meet your new tutor and make sure they're the right fit for you. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to helping you start your learning journey with confidence.

Do I need my own baton and music stand?

While a baton and a music stand are highly recommended for the best experience, you don't necessarily need them for your first lesson. Your tutor can advise you on what to get, but you can start with just your hands, a pencil, and a passion for music. A stable camera and a good internet connection are the most important tools.

How much do conducting lessons cost?

The price of conducting lessons varies depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. Our tutors set their own rates, so you can browse different profiles to find a price that fits your budget. Prices are clearly displayed on each tutor's profile.

Are these lessons suitable for absolute beginners?

Absolutely! Many of our tutors specialise in teaching foundational conducting skills to beginners. They can guide you through everything from basic beat patterns and posture to score reading and rehearsal techniques.

What happens in a typical online conducting lesson?

Your lesson will be tailored to you. It might involve working on beat patterns in front of a mirror with your tutor observing, analysing scores together, discussing rehearsal strategies, or practising specific cues for musical entrances and dynamics. Your tutor will provide instant feedback on your physical technique.

Do I need an ensemble to practise with?

No, you don't need an ensemble, especially when you're starting out. Your tutor will teach you how to practise effectively using recordings, which is a standard training method for conductors at all levels. They will act as your 'first musician', giving you feedback on the clarity of your gestures.

How do I find the right conducting tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors based on their experience (e.g., choral, orchestral, wind band), price, and availability. Read their profiles, watch their intro videos, and check out reviews from other students to find your perfect match.

Do I need to be able to read music fluently?

A solid foundation in music theory and score reading is very important for conducting. If you're not yet confident in this area, many of our tutors are also skilled musical theory instructors and can incorporate score analysis and theory into your lessons.

How often should I have a lesson?

Most students find that a weekly lesson provides a great balance, giving them enough time to practise new techniques while maintaining momentum. However, the frequency is completely up to you and can be discussed with your tutor.

What technology do I need for an online lesson?

All you need is a computer or tablet with a webcam, a microphone, and a reliable internet connection. You'll also want to ensure you have enough space to stand and move your arms freely so your tutor can see your full conducting gesture.

Can a tutor help me prepare for an audition or a performance?

Yes, this is a perfect use for a conducting tutor. They can help you deeply analyse the scores, refine your interpretation, polish your physical technique, and build the confidence you need to stand in front of an ensemble and lead effectively.
