It's focused, effective, and gets results. Finding a specialist piano tutor who fits around school, clubs, and family life can be a challenge. Online tutoring solves this.

I received an average of a first in the Maths modules I completed during my degree and a high 2.1 in my Physics modules; I received an Upper-Second Class overall.

Ana N
Ana is really easy to get on with and enthusiastic towards teaching and music in general.
She made a lot of effort catering to my needs as I came from an electronic production side and wasn’t in the need of any qualifications, which really helped me learn what was necessary for me and progress quickly.
Would definitely recommend Ana to anyone from any background for this reason.

Jonny Karl W
I honestly can’t fault the lessons I’ve received from Jonny so far; he’s a fantastic teacher, very friendly, approachable, professional and makes me feel very comfortable and confident to try new challenges, despite the fact I am a perfectionist who is often too hard on myself, Jonny makes me feel proud of my progress and even though I doubted I’d be able to get anything on piano, now I know that I can go as far as I dare to aim. So glad I decided to book with Jonny!

Dom R
I have been taking singing lessons with Dom for over 2 years now and I can say that it has been an inspiring journey. Dom's deep knowledge, professionalism and passion for music is much more than just singing practice, it's a full body experience. Not only focusing on the voice, but on the entire body's role in singing. From detailed warm-ups to physical awareness and A/B checks.
As a musician himself, he brings a rich understanding of interpretation, dynamics, accents and theatricality. He knows exactly how to guide.
Highly recommended.

Frequently
asked questions
See all FAQs
My child is aiming for a competitive Birmingham grammar school. Can piano grades really help their 11+ application?
Yes, absolutely. Whilst the 11+ is academically focused, many selective schools look for evidence of a child's wider character. High grades in an instrument like the piano demonstrate discipline, commitment, and resilience – qualities that are highly valued and can make an application stand out.
We want to strengthen my child's personal statement for the University of Birmingham. Do your tutors have experience with this?
Definitely. Many of our tutors have successfully guided students towards achieving high grades (Grade 6 and above) specifically to enhance their UCAS applications. Achieving this level of proficiency is excellent evidence of long-term dedication, which is very impressive to admissions teams at competitive universities.
Is online piano tutoring really as good as having a tutor in the room?
It is, and it offers unique advantages. With high-quality webcams, tutors can clearly see hand positions and posture. Online tools also allow for easy sharing of sheet music and theory resources. Crucially, it gives your child in Birmingham access to the best specialist tutors from anywhere in the UK, not just who lives nearby.
What if my child doesn't click with the first piano tutor we try?
We know the right relationship is key. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If it's not a perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk, and we'll cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
How are your piano tutors vetted?
We take safety and quality very seriously. Every tutor undergoes a background check and a personal interview to assess their teaching skills and expertise. We're selective, accepting only 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, so you can be sure you're choosing from the very best.
My child is also interested in music production. Do you offer tutoring for that as well?
Yes! We have expert tutors for a huge range of subjects beyond the core curriculum, including music technology, guitar, singing, and even coding. It's a great way for your child to explore their other passions from home.
Does my child need a specific type of piano or keyboard for online lessons?
Any 61-key keyboard or piano is a great start. The most important thing is that the tutor can see your child's hands on the keys via their webcam. Your chosen tutor can give more specific advice based on your child's level and goals.
Can we find a tutor who specialises in a particular style, like jazz or classical?
Of course. Our tutors have a wide range of specialisms. You can use the filters on our search page to find tutors who focus on specific genres, exam boards (like ABRSM or Trinity), or music theory to match your child's interests.
How much do online piano lessons cost for students in Birmingham?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience and qualifications, and you'll find the price clearly displayed on each tutor's profile. This allows you to find a brilliant tutor online who fits your family's budget, with no hidden fees.
Are tutors available at times that fit around busy school schedules?
Yes, that's one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. Tutors offer a wide range of availability, including evenings and weekends, so you can schedule lessons at times that don't clash with school, sports, or other commitments.
My child gets very nervous before their grade exams. Can a tutor help with that?
This is a very common concern, and our tutors are great at helping with it. A one-to-one tutor provides a safe, encouraging space to build performance confidence. They can work on techniques to manage nerves and practise playing for an audience of one, which makes a huge difference.
Does my child need a specific type of piano or keyboard for online lessons?
While our tutors are based across the UK, many are highly qualified musicians themselves with experience preparing students for auditions and exams at the level required by top conservatoires. You can read their detailed profiles to find someone with the right experience for your child's aspirations.
