Achieving Grade 6 and above provides tangible UCAS points, giving their university application a competitive edge that exam results alone might not. It demonstrates discipline, long-term commitment, and creativity—qualities that admissions tutors at top universities actively look for. This isn't just about learning an instrument; it's about building a compelling personal statement that shows they can dedicate themselves to mastering a complex skill.

The Right Support to Help Your Hastings Student Excel at Piano
The right tutor does more than just teach notes; they connect with your child, understanding exactly what makes them tick and where they get stuck. Is it the phrasing in a romantic piece, the complex theory behind a composition, or the nerve-wracking aural test? Our tutors find that specific key, turning moments of frustration into breakthroughs of understanding and watching your child’s confidence soar as they master each new challenge. Imagine lessons completely tailored to securing that next grade. A specialist tutor can break down the toughest pieces on the syllabus, run mock practical exams to build performance resilience, and use interactive tools to make music theory click. It’s this focused, methodical approach that turns aspiration into tangible achievement, piece by piece, grade by grade. We see it happen every day with the 200,000+ students we've helped. Because the tutoring is all online, your child in Hastings can learn with a top-tier music specialist from London, Manchester or Edinburgh, right from your living room. There’s no travel after a long day at school, just convenient, high-quality lessons that fit around your family’s busy schedule. It’s the smart, flexible way to give your child access to the very best teaching, no matter where you live.

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,...

Max T
Well-rounded tutor of Classical Piano and Rock Piano
Hello all. I've been playing the piano since I was just 4 years old and took this passion all the way to study music at Manchester University and play at a diploma level.

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 a piano tutor specifically help my child get UCAS points for universities like Sussex or Brighton?
Many parents in Hastings share this goal. Our tutors can create a structured lesson plan focused on achieving Grade 6, 7, or 8 with exam boards like ABRSM or Trinity, which all carry UCAS points. They provide targeted coaching on syllabus pieces, technical exercises, sight-reading, and aural skills to maximise your child's exam performance and strengthen their university application.
My child attends The Hastings Academy. Can online tutoring fit around their school commitments?
Absolutely. That's a key benefit of online tutoring. You're not restricted by local teachers' schedules. You can find a brilliant tutor who is available on evenings or weekends, fitting lessons around homework, clubs, and family time, which makes it much easier for your child to stay consistent without feeling overwhelmed.
Is online tutoring really effective for a practical subject like piano?
Yes, it's incredibly effective. Tutors use high-quality webcams for multiple camera angles (e.g., one on the keys, one on their face) so your child can clearly see hand positions and technique. With screen-sharing for music theory and excellent audio, it's a focused and interactive learning experience, all from the comfort of home.
What happens if my child doesn't click with the first piano tutor we try?
We know that the right connection is crucial for learning. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If it's not the right fit for any reason, just email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
Are the tutors qualified to teach for formal grade exams?
Yes. Many of our piano tutors are highly experienced in preparing students for ABRSM, Trinity, and other major exam boards. You can see their specific qualifications and experience on their profiles, and you can message them before booking to discuss your child's goals.
How do we find a tutor who matches my child's musical interests, like jazz or pop instead of just classical?
That's the beauty of having a UK-wide network of tutors online. You can use the filters on our site to find tutors who specialise in specific genres like jazz, pop, or even music production. Your child can learn the music they're passionate about, which is the best way to keep them motivated.
How much do online piano lessons for a student in Hastings typically 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 transparency allows you to find an expert tutor who fits your family's budget.
What equipment does my child need for online piano lessons?
It's simple. Your child will need a piano or keyboard, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! The tutor will guide you on the best setup during your first lesson.
How often should my child have lessons if they are preparing for an exam?
Most students find a weekly one-hour lesson provides the ideal balance of new learning and time for practice. However, this is completely flexible. You can discuss the best frequency with your chosen tutor based on your child's specific goals and the exam timeline.
Beyond piano, what other subjects could my child get help with?
We offer tutoring in over 300 subjects. So, alongside piano, your child could get support in maths or science for their GCSEs, learn a new language, or even take up coding. It's a great way to support all of their academic and personal interests in one place.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and professional?
Your child's safety is our highest priority. Every tutor on our platform must pass a background check and provide professional references. We only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply, ensuring your child is learning from the best.
How much do online piano lessons for a student in Hastings typically cost?
Yes, this is a very important part of musical education. Many of our experienced tutors are skilled at building a student's confidence. They can teach coping strategies, run mock performances, and create a supportive environment where your child feels comfortable taking risks and growing as a performer.
