FAQs

HOW TO BOOK A LESSON

To book a music lesson, simply fill in the provided form. Once we receive your request, our team will assist in contacting the tutors on your behalf. They will promptly reach out to you directly, allowing you to organise your lessons according to your preferences.

HOW LONG IS A LESSON

Different teachers may suggest different lesson lengths based on their teaching style and the specific needs of the student.

For beginners and those with limited experience, a half-hour lesson is often recommended to ensure a gradual and comfortable learning process.

Intermediate students may benefit from longer lesson lengths. Your music teacher might suggest lessons ranging from forty-five minutes to an hour.

Advanced students, who have already acquired significant experience and expertise, typically require longer lessons to accommodate their advanced instruction needs. Instructors may recommend lessons of an hour or more.

Through this tailored approach, we ensure that students receive the optimal amount of time for effective learning.

HOW DOES PIRATE SELECT TEACHERS?

We take great care when choosing our music tutors. Our directory includes a diverse mix of professional artists, who share their skills between rehearsals and touring, as well as teachers from music schools and freelance music instructors.

CAN YOU BOOK ONLINE CLASSES?

Yes, you can book online music lessons. However, availability will vary depending on the teacher you are booking with. Our diverse group of tutors offers a range of options, including in-studio, online and hybrid lessons.

WHERE CAN YOU BOOK IN-PERSON LESSONS?

Book face-to-face music lessons at a Pirate studio near you. To find a tutor offering in-person lessons, simply browse our directory and select a tutor based in a Pirate location near you.

HOW MUCH DOES A LESSON COST?

The cost of a music lesson will vary depending on the music tutor you book; however, it typically starts from £20/hour for teachers in the UK, $25/hour for teachers in the US and €25/hour for teachers in Europe. Individual teachers may have their own pricing structures based on factors such as expertise, experience and location.

Many teachers also offer special pricing for pre-booking block sessions, allowing you to save on multiple lessons. We encourage you to reach out to a teacher you find interesting to enquire about their specific pricing and any available discounts.

DO YOU TEACH KIDS?

Some of our tutors specialise in working with young learners and have a wealth of experience in providing engaging and age-appropriate music lessons. However, not all of our tutors offer music lessons for children.

DOES PIRATE TAKE ANY PAYMENT?

No, Pirate does not take any payment for music lessons held at Pirate. When you book a lesson through Pirate, the entire payment goes directly to your tutor.

Music tutors at Pirate are independent. While we support their teaching, they are not hired by Pirate. However, we greatly appreciate when in-person lessons are held at Pirate studios.
