Discover amazing music coaches

We connect households and businesses with knowledgeable and fun musicians. The young people on our platform are hardworking and sure to provide a great experience.

Learn from youth

Our tutors are between the ages of 13-22, making them wonderfully keen and relatable. This can be a great way to build engagement and enthusiasm in music.

Skilled and vibrant

Many of our musicians are skilled either through grades or through their experience of performing and singing. With tutors having recently learnt the content they’re teaching - the content is fresh, up-to-date and accurate.

Affordable rates

Our prices are charged based on the age and experience of our tutors, thereby providing affordable rates for a range of budgets. Less experienced “Level 1” tutors can be booked from £5 to for 45 minutes, with more experienced tutors available for higher grades or theory.

I’m offering to primarily teach saxophone from beginner to grade 8 level. I will typically find out what styles and genres of music the student wants to play and I can cater to this whilst teaching them necessary skills to be more proficient on the saxophone in a fun and enjoyable way. I'm willing to teach in person (if you're in Leeds) or online. If needed/wanted, I am able to include music theory as part of the saxophone lesson for greater understanding of how music works. I'm also able to offer beginner flute and piano lessons in-person (if near Leeds) or online. Please see my other post if you're interested in GCSE/A-Level tutoring.

Why hire a young person?

MyPocketSkill is a social impact company. We are passionate about helping young people to gain experience in the world of work and to become more financially capable. By using our platform you are helping us in that mission.

Our young people are highly enthusiastic, hardworking and personable. To sign up to MyPocketSkill, they are required to go through a screening and onboarding process. We also use a system of levels, based on age, experience and re-bookings, to help you choose.

How do I book a lesson?

Our lessons are available both online or offline. The process of booking a lesson is simple. Just get in contact with a music coach of your choice, or accept requests from young people who have contacted you, organise a time, date and session format you would like - whether it be a one-off-session or multiple sessions - and make booking. You can select different tutors based on their reviews, their profile and their listings.

How to hire the best music coach?

A few tips for selecting a music coach.

Read through their profile: our young people have robust personal stories and experiences to share and they often write about this on their profile. Select a profile which you believe is relatable to your child and with the skill sets which fit your requirements.
Read their reviews: our more experienced tutors often have reviews given by their past customers. Having more positive reviews are generally an indication of professional behaviour and that they have provided positive experiences to past clients.
Make a trial booking. It’s not expensive to book a music coach on MyPocketSkill. Booking an initial single lesson with one or more tutors can be a great way to understand whether it’s likely to be a fit. Once you have found a music coach that works for you, it’s possible to make block bookings on MyPocketSkill, which many customers find more convenient.
