On average, you can pay between £20 and £40 per hour for a private music lesson. This can vary slightly according to your chosen instrument as some are in greater demand than others, and some instruments require specialist knowledge and training, meaning they might be significantly more expensive. The price of lessons may also depend on your tutor´s qualifications and experience, as well as whether they offer classes online or face-to-face.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
💷 How much should I pay for music lessons?
🎻 Is it worth paying for private music lessons?
Many students think it´s without a doubt worth it to hire a private tutor for music lessons, especially as a beginner. With a music tutor, they can help you understand the basics of your instrument and build a solid foundation in music. While it is indeed possible to learn music by yourself, a private tutor can tackle any mistakes from the beginning to ensure you don´t fall into any bad habits.
🎹 How can I find music lessons in London?
London is a hub of musical activity and has produced some of the UK's top musicians. It's very easy to find a music tutor near you in London, no matter what kind of instrument you want to play. You can start with a simple Google search, for example with “piano lessons London” or “guitar lessons London” and see if there are any tuition centers, music schools or conservatories near you where you can apply. Alternatively, you could ask friends or family members if they have any recommendations for private music lessons, or you can search online platforms like FindTutors that connect students with private tutors.
🤔 What is the best age to start music lessons?
There is no doubt that learning how to play an instrument in childhood brings a host of benefits for children. It can help their brain development, motor skills, social skills, and can set them up on the right path for a potential career in music.
On the other hand, there are many adults with a love of music who feel regret that they never learned an instrument in childhood. However, we´re here to remind you that it's never too late to pick up an instrument and start learning. If you have a passion for a certain instrument or a genre of music, you should use that passion for learning. The benefits of learning an instrument are not just limited to children.
📆 How often should you do music lessons?
It's recommended that you have at least 1-2 music lessons per week, with each class lasting a minimum of 1 hour. This amount is enough time for you to reap the benefits of learning music. However, it should be noted that in order to progress quickly with music and see results, you should also be practicing for at least 10 minutes per day.
Learning music as a beginner in London
Easiest instruments to learn as a beginner
It seems like there is an endless list of musical instruments that you can learn, so sometimes it can be a difficult decision. In terms of what instruments are easiest for a beginner to learn, there is no correct answer.
Many people opt for piano lessons or guitar lessons, as these types of music lessons are in high-demand and there are many piano tutors and guitar tutors available in London.
However, at the end of the day, it's best to choose the instrument that you want to play, as this will motivate you the most in your learning. So whether it be singing lessons, drum lessons or violin lessons, you´ll surely find the right tutor for you in London.
What should I look for in a music tutor?
When searching for a private music tutor, there are a number of things which you should take into consideration:
- The tutor´s qualifications and experience. While for many private tutors it's not essential to have qualifications, for a music tutor, they should be qualified and experienced in your chosen instrument. It takes great skill to fully understand an instrument and to transmit your learning to others.
- The tutor´s availability. Your chosen tutor should be available for lessons at a time that suits you.
- The format of their private lessons. If you want to have face-to-face classes, you should ensure that your tutor lives near you so that neither of you have to travel too far. Alternatively, if you want online lessons, you should make sure that your tutor is equipped to provide these.
- Their character and teaching style. It's important to find a music tutor with whom you can build a good relationship and where you feel comfortable enough to communicate with them openly. They should have a teaching style that suits you, or be adaptable to your own unique learning style.
Music lessons online
Many students wonder if it's possible to take music lessons online. With advances in technology, it's absolutely possible to take online music classes. You need to ensure you have a good webcam and microphone on your computer or laptop, as well as a fast and reliable internet connection to avoid any interruptions.
However, many beginner students find it better to have face-to-face classes to start with so that they can truly get an ear for the sounds of the notes and to build a better rapport with their music tutor.
What is taught in a music class?
Below are some of the topics you may learn during your private music classes with a tutor:
- The names of the different parts of the instrument that you´re learning and what they're used for.
- Music theory and how to read music.
- Different scales and the main notes or chords that you´ll need to know according to your instrument.
- The history of your chosen musical instrument and about some of the top musical artists for this instrument.
Whichever instrument you decide you want to play, there´s no doubt that in a city as bustling and booming as London, you´ll find the perfect music tutor for you.
