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

Prelude Education is a leading music tuition agency based in London, specialising in private music lessons and music scholarship support to British independent schools. We are passionate about delivering the finest music education to children and young people. We support students across all ages, abilities and instruments, and deliver lessons in your home, at a studio or online.

Who We Are

Prelude Education started at a dinner table of classical musicians who believed that the current model of private music tuition was failing both students and teachers. 

Students were struggling to find music teachers who were not only excellent musicians but also brilliant teachers. 

And teachers were severely undervalued, driving down quality in teaching and leading to burn out. 

Frustrated by this, we decided to build a bespoke music education service, providing everything from 1-1 music tuition to music scholarship advisory. 

In short, we pay musicians what they’re worth, provide students the high-quality teaching that they deserve, and wrap this into a highly personalised service. 

Helping Young People Discover Their Potential

Our premium agency connects students with exceptional music teachers, offering children’s music lessons in London that are tailored to individual goals and aspirations. From guitar and drums to violin and piano lessons, we have a wealth of expertise in teaching children how to play a wide range of instruments. With a team of expert instructors, we specialise in fostering a lifelong love of music while building technical proficiency and artistic confidence.

Prelude Education is Britain's only music-specialist scholarship advisory service and supports students to achieve music scholarships to private schools.

We offer bespoke music scholarship consultations with world-leading scholarship experts, such as Eton College’s ex-Director of Music, Ralph Allwood MBE, to multi-year music scholarship preparation courses. So whether you’re at the initial stages of thinking about music scholarships, or if the audition is just around the corner, we offer range of tailored support from repertoire selection and sight-reading practice to mock auditions.
