MUSIC TUTORS
Lamp House Music offers a fun, safe and creative environment for pupils of all ages, in which to develop an understanding and appreciation of music.
Tutors who work out of Lamp House Music must be professional, qualified, contemporary, patient, passionate and enthusiastic – everything that a music teacher should be! All are PVG Certified.
Lamp House Music’s tutors always take into consideration each pupil’s ability, ambitions, learning style and musical tastes – lessons are fun and inspiring but also informative. Should a pupil wish to take gradings or sit music exams, our music tutors are happy to support pupils in this.
Whilst the music teachers at Lamp House Music are highly dependable, if a tutor must be absent we will provide cover from another tutor within the team. On an extremely rare occasion where cover is impossible and a tutor can not be provided – payment would not be expected.
