Before you write
What to include in your message
Five things help most, and you don't need to write an essay. A few lines covering each point is plenty — enough for the tutor to picture the right first session before they reply.
Where you're starting from
Say whether you're a complete beginner, coming back after a long break, or already comfortable on the instrument. That single detail changes what the first session should cover.
The instrument you're bringing
Acoustic, electric, or bass. If you own more than one, name the one you'd rather play in lessons. If you don't have an instrument yet, that's fine to mention too.
The format you have in mind
Face-to-face lessons, online tuition, or group sessions. If you're undecided, say so and the reply can compare them for your situation instead of guessing.
When you're usually free
Rough availability is enough — weekday evenings, Saturday mornings, or whatever your week actually allows. It's the detail that decides whether a plan is realistic.
What you want to work on
A song you've been trying to get through, a technique that keeps tripping you up, or a graded exam you're aiming at. Specifics make the first reply far more useful.
After you press send
What happens after you submit
The studio reads your enquiry and replies with availability that matches what you described, plus a recommended format and a rough plan for the first few sessions. If something in your message is unclear, you'll get a question back rather than an assumption. Replies come from the tutor who would teach you, not an automated system, and there's no charge for this exchange.
- Your message lands with a tutor It's read by the person who'd teach you, not routed through a booking system or an automated reply.
- Availability that fits your week The reply lists slots that work around the schedule you described, in the format you asked about.
- A rough plan for the first sessions You'll see what the opening lessons would cover, so you can judge whether it matches what you're hoping to learn.
- A question, if anything is unclear Vague details get asked about rather than assumed, so the suggestion isn't built on a guess.
How cost is confirmed
Why prices aren't listed
Lesson cost depends on the format you choose, how long each session runs, and how often you want to attend. A fortnightly online lesson and a weekly in-person one aren't comparable, and quoting a single figure would be misleading. So the studio confirms the cost directly once the format and frequency are agreed, and you're free to walk away if it doesn't suit your budget. Nothing is charged through this website — the form is a conversation, not a checkout.
Format
Online, in person, or group — the choice shapes the cost more than anything else.
Session length
A shorter lesson twice a week and a longer one once a week carry different rates.
Frequency
Weekly, fortnightly, or occasional — mentioned openly in the reply so you can decide.
Online and in-person enquiries
Both formats go through the same form. What changes is the detail the studio needs from you to schedule the first session sensibly.
Online tuition
If you're learning online
Mention your general time zone or your region within the UK. Scheduling still needs to line up, and knowing roughly where you are stops the reply from proposing slots that don't work. You'll also want to say what setup you have — a laptop with a camera and a reasonably quiet room is enough to start.
Ask about online lessonsFace-to-face lessons
If you'd rather meet in person
Say roughly where you are, so the studio can confirm whether it teaches in your area and how the journey fits your week. If geography rules out in-person lessons, online is usually a workable alternative, and we'll say so plainly rather than leave you guessing.
Ask about in-person lessonsTwo special cases
Group lessons and exam preparation
Shared sessions
Group and shared lesson enquiries
If you're asking on behalf of two or more people, include the number of players, their rough experience levels, and whether they'd be learning together regularly. Group lessons work best when everyone is at a similar stage, and the studio will say honestly whether that's the case from what you describe. Parents enquiring for a teenager should mention the student's age and any previous instrument experience, so the plan starts at the right place.
Graded exams
Exam preparation enquiries
If you're working toward graded exams, tell us which board you have in mind, or say that you're unsure and want guidance. Trinity College London, ABRSM, and Rockschool each ask for different repertoire and skills, and the lesson plan shifts accordingly. If you already have a grade booked or a target date, include it, since that changes how the preparation gets scheduled. If you're not interested in exams at all, say so and the plan will leave them out.
The enquiry form
Tell us what you're looking for
Fill in as much as you can — the notes above explain what helps. The studio reads every message and replies with availability and a suggested plan. There's no charge for this exchange and nothing is charged through the website.
Prefer to get in touch another way?
If you'd rather not use the form, ask for the studio's email address or phone number in a short enquiry and it will be provided. The form is the fastest route because it collects the details needed for a useful reply in one go.

There's no live chat and no automated booking. Whatever route you use, you're talking to the person who'd be teaching you.
Turnaround
If you don't hear back
Replies usually arrive within a few working days. Lesson enquiries are answered by a person, so volume and timing can affect the turnaround — a follow-up is never a problem.
Nothing has arrived after a few days — what should I do?
Check your spam or junk folder first, since replies to web forms sometimes land there rather than in your inbox. If nothing turns up, send the enquiry again with a short note that it's a repeat — it won't count against you.
Can I change my mind after enquiring?
Yes. An enquiry starts a conversation, not a commitment. Nothing is booked, charged, or reserved until you've read the reply and decided the format and frequency suit you.
Do I need my own guitar before I enquire?
No. Mention in your message that you don't have an instrument yet and the reply can cover what suits the style you want to play, so you're not buying something before you've decided.
