Frequently
asked questions

See all FAQs

What is the First Lesson Guarantee?

Your first lesson is a chance to ensure you've found the perfect tutor. If you're not completely satisfied, we'll find you another tutor for free. It's our commitment to getting your learning journey off to the best possible start.

Do I need my own acoustic piano for Grade 8+ lessons?

While an acoustic piano is ideal for developing the nuanced touch and dynamics required at this level, a high-quality, full-size (88 keys) digital piano with weighted keys and a pedal is also suitable. Discuss your setup with your tutor to ensure it meets your needs.

How much do Grade 8+ piano tutors cost?

The price of a Grade 8+ piano tutor varies based on their experience and qualifications. Tutors set their own rates, which you can see clearly on their profiles. You can expect to pay more for tutors with specialist knowledge in advanced repertoire and performance.

How do I find the right piano tutor for me?

You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in advanced grades and performance diplomas. Read their profiles, check their reviews from other students, and message them to discuss your specific goals, such as mastering a particular piece or preparing for an exam.

How long should a lesson be for a Grade 8+ student?

For advanced levels like Grade 8 and above, we typically recommend lessons of 60 to 90 minutes. This allows sufficient time to delve into the technical and musical complexities of your repertoire in detail.

Can a tutor help with performance anxiety and exam nerves?

Absolutely. Many of our tutors are experienced performers who can provide strategies for managing nerves, building confidence, and ensuring you perform at your best under pressure. This is a common focus in lessons at this level.

Do tutors cover the aural and theory components of the exam?

Yes, our tutors can provide comprehensive support for all sections of your Grade 8 exam, including sight-reading, aural tests, scales, and the underlying music theory. You can request to focus on these areas in your lessons.

How are online piano lessons conducted?

Lessons are held via live video call in our bespoke online classroom. You'll typically need a device with a camera (like a laptop or tablet) positioned so your tutor can see your hands on the keyboard, allowing for real-time feedback on your posture and technique.

Are tutors familiar with specific exam boards like ABRSM or Trinity?

Yes, many of our tutors specify which exam boards they have experience with on their profiles. You can filter your search to find tutors who are experts in the syllabus and requirements of your specific exam board.

Can I get help with a specific piece, like a Beethoven Sonata?

Of course. One-to-one tutoring is perfect for in-depth work on specific pieces. You can work with a tutor to master the technical challenges, understand the historical context, and develop a mature, artistic interpretation.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a lesson?

We have a flexible 24-hour cancellation policy. As long as you give your tutor at least 24 hours' notice, you can cancel or reschedule your lesson without any charge.
