Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

🎵 How do I find private music lessons?

You can find private music tutors at music schools but, depending on where you live, this could be quite far from you. The easiest way to find music lessons near you is to contact music tutors directly.

On FindTutors you can filter by city if you want to do face-to-face music lessons. Alternatively you can look for online music lessons. You can also filter by the musical instrument you want to learn, for example if you want private guitar lessons, violin lessons, piano lessons or singing lessons.

💻 Can I learn an instrument online?

Yes, it is possible to learn music online. Nowadays private tutors can use various digital tools to teach online to make the lessons as interactive as possible. Online music lessons are done with video calls and it is recommended to be in a quiet environment so that the music tutor can hear your voice or instrument. The advantages are numerous; you can find tutors from all over the UK, learn from home and save time and money on commuting.

🎼 What do you learn in music lessons?

Private music lessons teach you how to read music so that you can play the instrument you want to learn. Additionally, you will learn: musical notation, metre, solfège and bar structure. You will also learn to train your ear and to tune your voice, if you take singing lessons.

🤑 How much does a private music lesson cost?

One of the decisive factors when choosing a private tutor is the price of the music lesson. It all depends on the level of musical knowledge you have and also on what you want to learn. For example, piano tutors tend to charge around £28 an hour whereas guitar tutors usually charge around £23 an hour. A base figure for how much private music lessons and dance classes cost is £26 an hour.

⌚ How long do music lessons last?

The duration of a music lesson will depend on a number of factors:

  • Learning a musical instrument: There is no maximum time, but normally each session lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
  • Singing in a choir: A group or choir singing lesson can last up to 4 hours, depending on the number of people in the group and whether there is a performance.

Private singing lesson: A private singing lesson usually lasts between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Beginners should start with less time until they build up the vocal stamina to sing for longer.

Why start music lessons?

A private music tutor can help

Music lessons can help you become a professional musician. You will gain a lot of experience whether you want to join a band, become a music teacher or simply learn an instrument. Remember that it's not just the tutor that will get you there: you have to put in a lot of dedication and hours outside of lessons.

Undoubtedly, what you learn in music lessons will depend on the length of the course you have chosen, whether it is technical, professional or just weekly lessons with a private music teacher. Find out everything you need to know when learning music:

  • You have to learn the history of music. Because music lessons are not just about learning to play. Like any art, you have to understand its history to be able to create something new. On FindTutors you will have the opportunity to meet private music tutors who will explain the history of the musical style you are most interested in, the main musicians, rhythms and melodies, music theory, etc. Get ready to become an experienced musician!
  • Play and sing until you get tired! Practice is the most important part for many singers and musicians. The truth is that you don't learn how to cook without getting "hands-on", nor how to ride a bike just by reading how to do it.
  • Apply music theory. In addition to learning music notation, time signatures and how to understand the universe of music, it is time to apply the theory. The application of music theory is about creating a song of your own, bringing together your references. This is because music is the union of personal experiences, you can create lyrics full of feelings, or sing a song with an accent and slang. 

What is the best age to start studying music?

Contrary to what many may think, the age at which you start studying music is not a limiting factor. It is never too late to practise an instrument or to stop singing in the shower to sing in a choir. In fact, many parents opt for after-school music lessons because they complement what their child is learning in primary or secondary school, but there is no ideal age to study music.

Discover the easiest way to learn music according to age:

Musical initiation for 3 to 4 year olds.

If your child is over 3 years old and you are wondering at what age he or she can start music lessons, the answer is: the time has come! Many of the private tutors on FindTutors are specialised in teaching children and will be able to help your child learn an instrument. Generally, the method starts with body movements to teach elements such as melody and rhythm. The instruments used are mainly percussion instruments, so the private music teacher will teach rhythm with drums, maracas and other objects.

Musical instrument for beginners aged 5 to 6 years old

In general, the best age to learn music is between 5 and 6 years old. This is because children have already mastered the rhythm and melody aspects of music. Music lessons for children of this age consist of producing music on instruments like the piano or recorder. The private tutor can also use games and sensory activities to help your child develop an understanding of musical notes. If you want your child to develop musicality as a hobby or even take up music as a profession, 5 years old is the ideal age to learn music.

Solfège and musical instruments for 7 to 10 year olds

Ssolfège is usually taught at the age of 7 to 10 years. At this stage the child can already read musical notation and understand the theory. Usually in private music lessons the teacher can devote more time to learning solfège, which is very important for later on. The easiest instrument to learn music on is the piano.

Private music lessons, choir and teenage groups

At 11 to 17 years old, young people want to learn a musical instrument in order to join a band, orchestra or choir. The advantage of group music lessons is that teenagers will be more motivated to participate and spend time practising at home. At this age, it is already possible to have a thorough knowledge of the instrument and even to create cover songs.

Music lessons for adults

If you want to learn music as a hobby, there are many benefits to be gained. Music lessons for adults give you the possibility to create a connection with people who like the same thing as you. Or even if you choose to learn music with a private tutor, the lessons will undoubtedly be more dynamic and focused on your goals. Adults have a greater ability to concentrate than children, so in general, music lessons will have a more professional background.
