Welcome to
The Music Tutor01
Theresa has a fresh, fun, and inspiring way to spark your imagination. Coupled with her no fuss approach, you will find learning music enjoyable and quick, giving you a sense of achievement, and confidence.
We offer a wide range of music opportunities. You could learn a traditional wood wind instrument, classical guitar, or move with the times and learn the electric guitar with a looper. Or, go further still into the digital world and learn about music production, and how to use a DAW system to create your own music.
Theresa can also support you with your GCSE, A-levels, graded music theory courses or just a subtopic that your uncertain about. If there is anything you think Theresa may be able to help with, please contact her.
Access to music for everyone
I strongly believe that the benefits of music should be available to everyone, but often, it is the price that prevents people from learning this valuable subject. Therefore, to help with the affordability, I have designed several different lesson formats, ranging from £4 per person. Also, I am currently designing a scholarship and bursary programme, to reward and encourage as many people as possible from diverse backgrounds to have the opportunity to learn music.
Music and its benefits are deeply woven into our everyday lives and subconscious. From listening to your favourite song to boost your mood, watching a TV advert; think of the cute Christmas ads! Music even helps us understand the narrative of a film, or a game on the Xbox/PS. Next time you watch a movie or play your favourite game, mute the sound. Do you get the same experience as with the sound on?
Music Benefits You!
There are so many benefits from studying music; from improved academic studies to learning social cues. You may have seen on the BBC, how music has helped people with loneliness, dementia, improved children’s confidence and assisted with friendship making.
Below, I have posted an interesting YouTube video by Anita Collins, to explain how music can benefit your brain. After this, I have briefly explained how music will help you in other areas of life, such as listening and schoolwork. If want to speak to the music tutor, your welcome to contact her.
More Musical Benefits
Researchers are finding out how music can help us to learn better, remember events, help with organisation and development skills and so much more…
Music found in STEM
STEM & Music
Music relies on understanding the beat, rhythm, and pitch. These subjects are linked to division, fractions, reoccurring patterns, and vectors, principles found in maths. Sound waves are studied in most schools and commonly found in GCSE physics papers; however, many people find this science particularly challenging. Music can help, because it is a practical approach to understanding many physics subjects, such as how sound is produced, how sound waves travel and behave in an environment. How the human body adapts while playing an instrument is an example of biological processes, while the materials used in the construction of the many different instruments would help those who study chemistry.
Body Co-ordination
Hand & Eye
Co-ordination
Learning an instrument helps with developing good hand to eye co-ordination, ambidexterity and adjusting to situations, from personal position to general social spaces. Music also has a positive impact on other hobbies such as dance and sports, especially with body co-ordination and timing.

Socialising &
Mental Health
Learning social skills, like social cues, professionally working together and forging friendships are aspects of everyday life. A music setting is a safe space for people to meet and develop these skills and relationships. This gives these individuals a chance to fine-tune their social skills and understand the many nuances involved in socialising without fear of serious repercussions. Being socially active helps to beat loneliness, a major contributing factor for declining mental health for all ages. Music is beneficial for those with social behaviour difficulties, home schooled children, those with general social challenges and anxieties. After all, Human Beings are designed to be social creatures.
Learning Music
Discipline &
Patience
Music is filled with a mix of instant and delayed contentment. Many people know that in life, the ‘larger the prize’ often involves a length of time of study and patience and seen in music. Studying for grades or a performance takes time with practice and learning. This helps people to develop their discipline skills and inherently personal patience, as well as being patient with other people. Instant gratification in music is usually seen in lessons, when the musician learns new notes, different melodies and patterns. By learning music, the student learns patience and disciplines and realises there are different types of gratification and all of them are a normal part of life.
Listening skills
Better listening skills &
Emotional Intelligence
Due to discipline and patience, music students become better at concentration, have good listening skills, and improved emotional intelligence. People with neurodiverse conditions find this aspect of music beneficial.
Song writing & narrative
Comprehension, grammar & story telling
Part of playing music, composing and song writing helps us to learn about comprehension and literature. Music helps us to understand about adding suspension to the story, creating a certain mood, have good grammar and the art of drawing in the audience, and encourage the audience to listen.
