Why Piano is a Secret Weapon for the 11+ and Beyond
Learning piano builds more than musicality. It cultivates the very skills needed to excel in competitive exams and challenging academic environments. Every scale practised sharpens discipline. Understanding harmony and rhythm strengthens pattern recognition, a key skill for non-verbal reasoning and maths. We've seen how this focus translates into academic gains, which is why 90% of our students improve by at least one grade. It's the kind of well-rounded development that helps a young person's application shine, whether for a top sixth form or a sought-after course at Exeter or Plymouth.

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
How can learning piano specifically help my child with the 11+ for Torquay's grammar schools?
It's a great question. Learning piano develops skills that are directly tested in the 11+. It enhances discipline, concentration, and memory, which are vital for all papers. More specifically, it strengthens pattern recognition and spatial reasoning skills, which can give students a real advantage in the non-verbal reasoning sections.
My child is aiming for a competitive sixth form. Do piano grades really make a difference?
Yes, they absolutely can. Achieving music grades demonstrates long-term commitment, discipline, and a capacity for detailed work – qualities that top sixth forms and universities like Exeter and Plymouth value highly. It helps your child present a well-rounded profile that stands out from others with similar academic results.
Is online piano tutoring as effective as in-person lessons?
Many parents are surprised to find it's even more effective for their family. Online lessons eliminate travel time, making scheduling easier. With features like multiple camera angles and digital resources, our tutors provide clear, high-quality instruction. Crucially, it gives your child in Torquay access to a much wider pool of specialist tutors from across the UK.
What happens if my child doesn't click with their first piano tutor?
Finding the right personality match is essential. We have a first lesson guarantee to ensure you do. If you feel the first tutor isn't the perfect fit for your child, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
My child has never played piano before. Is online tutoring suitable for absolute beginners?
Definitely. Our tutors are brilliant at making beginners feel comfortable and excited. They start with the absolute basics in a patient and encouraging way, building a strong foundation and a love for music right from the first lesson. Many tutors specialise in teaching young beginners.
Do you also offer tutors for academic subjects like Maths and English for the 11+?
Yes, we do. We have expert online tutors across more than 300 subjects, including core Maths, English, and Verbal/Non-Verbal Reasoning tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation. Many parents find it convenient to manage all their child's tutoring needs through one platform.
How are your piano tutors vetted?
We're very selective because we know how much trust you're placing in us. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted. Every tutor undergoes a thorough interview process, identity and qualification checks, and must have a valid DBS certificate. You can read reviews from other parents on each tutor's profile.
What equipment does my child need for an online piano lesson?
It's quite simple. Your child will need a piano or keyboard, and a device like a laptop, tablet, or smartphone with a camera and microphone. A stable internet connection is also important. The tutor will guide you on the best camera positioning during the first lesson to ensure they can see your child's hands on the keys.
How much do online piano lessons for a student in Torquay cost?
Our tutors set their own hourly rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. Prices vary based on the tutor's experience and qualifications. This allows you to find a brilliant, highly-rated tutor that also fits within your budget.
How do we find the right piano tutor for our child?
You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in teaching your child's age group, skill level, and specific goals (like preparing for ABRSM grades). You can also read detailed profiles and reviews from other families, and message tutors for free before booking to ensure they're the right fit.
Can we schedule lessons at a time that suits our busy family life?
Yes, flexibility is one of the biggest benefits of online tutoring. You can see each tutor's availability on their profile and book slots that fit around school, clubs, and family commitments. There's no need to travel, which saves valuable time.
How are your piano tutors vetted?
Our tutors provide regular feedback on your child's development. You can also message your tutor at any time to discuss progress. The most rewarding proof, however, will be hearing your child play with growing confidence and knowing they are building skills that will support them for years to come.
