Performance Tutors

Our tutors' expertise spans numerous musical styles and areas of study. See below for a list of our current tutors and what they offer.

If you take a performance module for credit as part of any music degree in your first instrument or voice, you will have your lessons paid for by the music department. If eligible, students on the Folk and Traditional Music degree can also study for a second additional instrument.

We have tutors in a range of other instruments and styles. If you can't find what you are looking for here, this does not mean that we do not teach it.
