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 university. How can piano grades help their application stand out in Market Harborough?
That's a great question. For many students in the Market Harborough area, a strong academic profile is just the start. Higher piano grades (Grade 6 and above) provide valuable UCAS points, which can be a real advantage. More importantly, they demonstrate long-term commitment, discipline, and creativity—qualities that Russell Group university admissions tutors actively look for in applicants for any subject.
We're worried about the Grade 5 theory exam needed for GCSE Music. Can we find an online tutor who specialises in this?
Absolutely. This is one of the most common reasons parents seek our help. We connect students in Market Harborough with expert music tutors from across the UK, many of whom are specialists in music theory. They can break down the syllabus into manageable parts, making it feel much less daunting and ensuring your child has the knowledge they need to pass with confidence.
Is online piano tutoring as effective as having a teacher in the room?
Yes, and it offers unique advantages. Tutors use high-quality video and audio, and many have setups with multiple camera angles to demonstrate hand positions and technique clearly. Online lessons also allow your child in Market Harborough to access the best tutors from across the UK, not just those who live nearby, ensuring they get a true specialist.
What if my child doesn't click with their first piano tutor?
We know that the right connection is key to success. That's why we have our first lesson guarantee. If you don't feel the tutor is the right fit for your child, simply email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover the cost of your first session with a new tutor.
How do you ensure your piano tutors are high quality?
We're very selective. Only 1 in 8 tutors who apply are accepted onto our platform. Every tutor is background-checked, and we interview them to assess their expertise, teaching style, and passion for their subject. For music, many of our tutors are professional musicians or highly experienced teachers with proven track records in exam success.
How much do online piano lessons cost for a student in Market Harborough?
Our tutors set their own rates, so prices vary depending on their experience and qualifications. You can easily browse profiles and filter by price to find a fantastic tutor who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts.
How often should my child have lessons to prepare for an exam?
Most students have one lesson a week, which provides consistent progress and allows them time to practise between sessions. However, you might choose to increase the frequency closer to an exam date. Your tutor can work with you to create a schedule that best suits your child's goals and your family's routine.
What equipment does my child need for online piano tutoring?
It's simple. Your child will need their piano or keyboard, a laptop or tablet with a webcam and microphone, and a stable internet connection. That's it! Their tutor will guide them on the best way to position their device so they can see their hands and the keys.
Can tutoring help my child if they're just starting out and not aiming for grades?
Of course! We believe in learning for the love of it. Our tutors are brilliant at inspiring a lifelong passion for music in beginners. They can make learning fun, teach your child to play their favourite songs, and build a solid foundation of skills at a pace that feels right for them.
We live in Market Harborough. Do the tutors know the ABRSM or Trinity exam boards?
Yes, absolutely. Our tutors are experienced with all the major UK music exam boards, including ABRSM, Trinity, and London College of Music. You can check a tutor's profile to see which exam boards they specialise in or send them a message to ask directly.
My child is very busy with homework from Robert Smyth Academy. How can we fit tutoring in?
This is where online tutoring is a huge advantage. There's no travel time, so you instantly save an hour or more. Lessons can be scheduled for evenings, weekends, or whenever suits your family's schedule, making it much easier to fit specialist support around demanding schoolwork and other commitments.
How often should my child have lessons to prepare for an exam?
Yes! We have expert tutors across more than 300 subjects. From core academic support in Maths, English, and Science to other skills like coding, languages, or even public speaking, we can help your child explore new interests and build their confidence across the board.
