Hi Everyone, My name is Santella and I have been teaching singing for the past 14 years.

After 2 years of dance training, the teachers noticed that I also had a strong voice and advised me to go to a school that offered singing as well as dance. Upon taking their advice,...

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
Can an online tutor help my child prepare for a music scholarship at a school like King's Rochester?
Absolutely. Many of our piano tutors are specialists in preparing students for music scholarships. They can focus lessons on audition pieces, music theory, and performance confidence, tailoring their approach to the specific requirements of selective independent schools.
My child is preparing for the Medway Test. How can piano tutoring help?
Whilst not a direct part of the test, developing a skill like piano demonstrates discipline, dedication, and a well-rounded character – qualities that are highly valued in grammar school applications. Achieving music grades can significantly strengthen your child's overall profile.
Is online piano tutoring as effective as in-person?
Yes, and it offers unique advantages. With high-quality video and audio, tutors can clearly see hand positions and hear nuances. The main benefit is access; your child in Gillingham can learn from a top-tier performance coach from London or a music theory expert from Manchester, without any travel.
What happens if we don't click with the first tutor?
It's really important that your child feels comfortable with their tutor. If the first session isn't the perfect fit, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first lesson with a new tutor.
What level do your piano tutors teach?
We have tutors for every stage, from a child's very first lesson to those preparing for Grade 8 exams or university auditions. Whether your child is a complete beginner or an advanced player, we can find the right specialist for them.
Do we need a specific type of piano or keyboard for online lessons?
Most students start with a simple electronic keyboard with weighted or semi-weighted keys. As they progress, their tutor can advise on what might be suitable next. The most important thing is having an instrument they can practise on between lessons.
How do you ensure tutors are qualified and safe to work with children?
We take safety and quality very seriously. We only accept 1 in 8 tutors who apply, and every tutor must pass an interview and have their ID and background checks verified before they can teach on our platform.
How much do online piano lessons for a student in Gillingham cost?
Prices vary depending on the tutor's experience and qualifications. You can see each tutor's hourly rate clearly on their profile. There are no hidden fees, and you can find brilliant tutors to suit a range of budgets.
My child is also interested in music production. Do you offer that?
We do! Beyond traditional instruments like piano, we have tutors for a huge range of subjects, including music production, guitar, singing, and even academic subjects like maths and science. You can find support for all your child's interests on our platform.
How are lessons scheduled?
You have complete flexibility. You can view each tutor's availability on their profile and book a time that works for your family. Whether it's after school, on a weekend, or during the holidays, you can arrange lessons to fit around your busy schedule.
Can a tutor help my child with their confidence as well as their piano skills?
This is one of the biggest benefits parents tell us about. The one-to-one attention in a supportive environment works wonders for a child's self-belief. Seeing themselves master a piece they once found impossible has a positive impact that goes far beyond music.
How do you ensure tutors are qualified and safe to work with children?
It's very simple. All you need is a laptop, tablet, or computer with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. Your tutor will connect with your child via our secure and easy-to-use online classroom.
