I’m seeking a patient and engaging music tutor to help my teenager improve their basic music theory and instrument skills. We have a beginner to intermediate level, focusing on piano and basic reading of music notation. The sessions should cover scales, rhythm, simple pieces, and study habits for consistent progress. Preference is for weekly 45-minute to 60-minute lessons, ideally after school or on weekend afternoons. We’d like the tutor to provide a short practice plan each week and be comfortable using online resources for practice between lessons. A friendly, encouraging teaching style and the ability to tailor lessons to the student’s pace are important.
