Grade 5 theory ABRSM how to find a tutor

3 replies

Suki2 · 25/06/2012 08:31

I live abroad, and desperately want to find a tutor for the summer to help DS to help prepare for this exam; I come back to the UK for two months in the summer, so we have lots of spare time!

We're based in the Wirral, but I don't know any tutors there, and on the internet I've only managed to find young students; I'm looking more for a tutor with years of experience of teaching this. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful!

A music student should be spot on for this I think.
Best advice is find the nearest sheet music shop and ask them to recommend local teachers.

ds2 worked independently through gr1-4 Trinity workbooks: very user-friendly and accessible.

Then did AB gr5 workbook; had 2 or 3 composition lessons with teacher, and got a distinction in the gr5 exam.

If he already plays an instrument to a reasonable standard, much of gr5 theory is not difficult.

In just two months you might need some intensive teaching and a professional teacher might not be able to fit it in, especially at short notice. They tend to go on holiday themselves once term ends.

A music student home for the summer might be just what is needed in the circumstances and mutually beneficial.

All the instrumental teachers listed should be qualified to teach grade 5 theory. May I suggest that you choose someone who can teach your Childs instrument too as it can really help to be coming at it from the same angle
