​

How do I pay?

 

​

Lesson fees are payed via Standing Order and must be set to clear at least 48 hours prior to each lesson. New starters may choose to pay for up to three sessions via bank transfer before committing to Standing Order payments. Standing Orders can be cancelled at any time.  

​

​

How often should I have a lesson?

​

​

For children we highly recommend weekly lessons. For adults, we tend to suggest a biweekly session, but we will always discuss this with you before deciding what's best.

​

​

How much do I need to practice?

​

​

Success in learning an instrument comes with practicing frequently. We ask our pupils to try and practice every day. Of course, there will be times where this is not possible, but you should always aim to do so. It's important to remember that the majority of your progress is made in the time between the lessons!

​

 

What about learning materials?

 

​

All lesson material will be available to view/print/download from your Digital Lesson File. As well as saving the planet, this is a handy way to ensure that you can never lose your practice material! 

 

​

Where can I get grade books from?

 

​

Grade books are purchased directly through the exam board's website. Your tutor will guide you to the right place!

 

​

What do I need for my lessons?

 

​​

• Guitar / Ukulele

• Tuner

• Plectrums (if learning guitar)

• Reliable internet connection

​

Our team are always happy to offer advice when it comes to accessories and equipment, so don’t hesitate to ask! 

​

​

Why take grade exams?

 

​

Graded exams are a great way to track your progress and to give you a solid goal to work towards. RGT Graded Music Exams are internationally recognised qualifications (accredited by Ofqual), and you earn UCAS points for passing grades 6-8. For more information on UCAS points for graded exams, click here.

​

​

Can I rent a guitar from you?

 

​

Unfortunately we do not currently provide a guitar rental service, though it is something we’re working on.

 

 

Do you offer a free trial lesson?

 

​

We don’t offer a free trial because our lessons are tailored to the individual and therefore takes time to prepare. We also have other costs to cover, so it soon adds up! We are confident that you will be 100% satisfied with lessons from Pure Musician.

​

​

Can you teach me my favourite songs?

​

​

Of course, that’s what we’re here for!

​

​

Do you teach children with special requirements?

​

​

Unfortunately we do not currently teach children with special requirements though it is something we are looking to expand to in the future.
