About Prelude Education Exceptional Music Teachers in Central London & the Surrounding Areas

Each student has their own goals.

We take a great deal of care finding the right music teacher for your child. For us, matching student and teacher goes far beyond just what’s on paper. At Prelude Education, we can provide everything from modern to classical music lessons in London, so whatever your child’s preference or goals, we have the perfect teacher to guide their journey.

We also take time speaking to you to understand precisely what you’re looking for. We then carefully match student goals and learning styles to our highly qualified, experienced, and vetted teachers. 

As a boutique agency, we know each of our teachers personally – we’ve interviewed every one of them and have known many for years. We know their teaching styles, their interests outside of music, and view our teachers as more than teachers – they’re mentors and role models. 

And so, when we connect your family to one of our teachers, you can be confident that we will only introduce teachers who we would be delighted to invite into our own homes.

We are proud of our unrivalled music teachers.

Our music teachers are some of the most sought-after musicians in London and are nearly all graduates of the world’s top four conservatoires. 

But more than being world-leading musicians, we believe they’re also world-leading teachers.

All our teachers have at least three years of teaching experience, and each undergoes a 1-2-1 interview where we get a detailed understanding of their teaching style. 

We also conduct rigorous background checks. Here, we speak to the families of their previous students, contact their named professional references, and ensure they hold an enhanced DBS check. 

Only when we are confident that they an excellent musician and teacher do they make it onto our books.

Expert guidance from start to finish.

For us, it’s in the detail and growing our relationship with you.
