These skills are absolutely crucial for securing places in top university music departments, competitive conservatoires, or even pursuing a career in the vibrant UK music industry.

asked questions
See all FAQs
Can a Tutorful music tutor help my child prepare for competitive music conservatoire auditions?
Absolutely. Many of our specialist music tutors have extensive experience with conservatoire entry requirements and audition preparation. They can provide expert guidance on repertoire selection, performance technique, sight-reading, aural tests, and even interview practice, helping your child present their very best self.
How can a tutor help my child build a strong music portfolio for university applications?
Our tutors can work with your child to develop a compelling musical portfolio. This might involve refining original compositions, curating recordings of performances, or even exploring different genres to showcase versatility. They'll provide constructive feedback and guidance to ensure your child's portfolio truly stands out to university admissions panels.
Is Tutorful only for academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills too?
While we excel in academic subjects like Music GCSEs and A-Levels, our platform offers much more! Your child can find tutors for specific instruments, music theory, composition, voice training, and even non-academic skills like coding, public speaking, or learning a new language. We support a wide range of personal development goals.
What if my child doesn't get along with their first music tutor?
We want your child to have the best possible learning experience. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor. It's important to us that you find the perfect match.
How do I pick the right music tutor for my child?
It's easy! You can browse tutor profiles, read reviews from other parents, and even watch introductory videos. Consider their specialisms (e.g., specific instruments, music theory, composition), experience, and teaching style. Many tutors offer a free chat to discuss your child's needs before booking.
How much does online music tutoring cost?
Tutor rates vary depending on their experience and specialism, but you'll find a wide range of options to suit your budget. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly displayed on their profile before you book, so there are no surprises.
How does online music tutoring work?
Our online classroom is designed for effective learning. Your child connects with their tutor via video link, using an interactive whiteboard, document sharing, and even a code editor for other subjects. It's a dynamic and engaging environment for one-to-one learning, perfect for demonstrating techniques or analysing scores.
Can a music tutor help my child with specific exam boards like ABRSM or Trinity?
Yes, many of our music tutors are highly experienced with various exam boards, including ABRSM, Trinity College London, and Rockschool. They can provide targeted support for practical exams, theory papers, and performance diplomas, ensuring your child is fully prepared.
My child is shy about performing; can a tutor help build their confidence?
Absolutely. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe and encouraging space for your child to practice and perform without pressure. They can help build technique, overcome stage fright, and develop the confidence to express themselves musically, whether for exams or simply for enjoyment.
How quickly will I see progress in my child's music studies?
Progress varies for every child, but with personalised, consistent support, many parents notice improvements fairly quickly. Our tailored approach means every session targets your child's specific areas for growth, and 90% of students improve by at least one grade with Tutorful.
