Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

Do I need to own a piano or keyboard for lessons?

Yes, you will need access to an instrument for both lessons and practice. An acoustic piano is fantastic, but a digital keyboard is perfectly suitable for Grades 1-3. We recommend one with at least 61 full-sized, touch-sensitive keys.

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

We're confident you'll love your tutor, but if for any reason you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to helping you find the perfect match.

How much do Grade 1-3 piano tutors cost?

The price of a piano tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. You can browse tutor profiles to see their individual rates, which are clearly listed. Prices typically start from around £25 per hour.

Are online piano lessons effective for beginners?

Absolutely. Online lessons offer unique advantages, like close-up camera angles on the tutor's hands and the convenience of learning on your own instrument at home. Our tutors are experts at teaching foundational skills in a clear, engaging online format.

How do I find the right piano tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in the Grade 1-3 level. Read their profiles, check their student reviews (we have a 4.6/5 star average!), and watch their intro videos. You can also message tutors before booking to ensure they're a good fit for your goals.

How long should a lesson be for a Grade 1-3 student?

For younger children, 30-45 minutes is often a good starting point to maintain focus. For older children and adults, a 60-minute lesson provides ample time to cover technique, theory, and pieces in depth. Your tutor can recommend the best lesson length for you.

How much should I practice between lessons?

Consistency is more important than duration. Aim for 15-30 minutes of practice, 4-5 days a week. Your tutor will give you specific things to focus on to ensure your practice time is as effective as possible.

Can tutors help me prepare for ABRSM or Trinity grade exams?

Yes, many of our tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for formal grade exams from all major examination boards, including ABRSM, Trinity, and LCM. You can mention this as a goal when you search for a tutor.

Do I have to learn to read music?

For grade progression, learning to read sheet music is a fundamental and essential skill. Our tutors are experts at making music theory accessible and fun, integrating it seamlessly into your practical lessons so it never feels overwhelming.

What equipment do I need for an online piano lesson?

You'll need your piano or keyboard, a stable internet connection, and a device (like a laptop, tablet, or phone) with a webcam and microphone. Setting up your device so the tutor can see both you and your hands on the keys is ideal.

How does Tutorful vet its piano tutors?

Our vetting process is extremely rigorous. We verify ID, review qualifications, and conduct interviews. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted, so you can be sure you're learning from a top-quality, professional educator.
