  1. What makes First Tutors: Music unique?

    First Tutors: Music enables music teachers to promote themselves through profiles for free. Only when a music teacher is matched with a tutee do we make a small charge, i.e. when the advertising has proved its value. First Tutors: Music is unique for students and parents in giving them greater choice and making them aware of the costs of private music lessons and their chosen teacher's qualifications upfront.

  2. What is the difference between First Tutors: Music and going to a tutoring agency?

    Firstly, First Tutors: Music is open 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week: you can always go online and request a music teacher. For this reason First Tutors: Music is a very fast way of finding and selecting a music tutor. Rather than talking to a middle man and waiting to hear which teachers are available, our system enables you to contact the tutors direct and ask them your questions. First Tutors: Music is also very competitively priced: the average agency charges £10.00 on top of every hour of tuition, whereas we only charge a tutee £4.99-19.99* for the release of their chosen tutor's details.

  3. Does First Tutors: Music offer support?

    For tutors or parents/tutees experiencing technical difficulties, contact us via our online support form and we will help you with any difficulty.

    For parents seeking advice on choosing a music teacher, read Which Music Teacher? or for commencing music lessons please see Your First Music Lesson.

  4. Why should I use First Tutors: Music rather than a recommendation from a friend?

    First Tutors: Music provides a built-in review facility - we invite feedback from tutees and parents about how their music tutoring sessions have gone. For parents and tutees, this provides objective advice, whilst also giving the best music teachers a platform upon which to shine.

  5. I need a music teacher for an instrument not listed here, can you help?

    Contact us and we'll make every effort to help you.

  6. How do I give feedback?

    We much appreciate feedback and where appropriate usually act on it very swiftly - use our feedback form to tell us what you think.

  7. Who uses First Tutors: Music?
    • Parents with children from both the independent and state sector. We enjoy a lot of repeat custom once we've been tried and tested.
    • Adult learners looking to learn an instrument for fun or for exams and professional purposes.
  8. I'm looking to recruit numerous music teachers for evening classes, can you help?
