Struggling with your child's music lessons? Let's tune in before it's too late!
Challenges Faced by Music Students
1. Balancing Music and Schoolwork
For students in Primary and Secondary School, juggling music practice with academic responsibilities can be challenging. Preparing for school exams while maintaining consistent practice on instruments like the piano or guitar requires excellent time management. SmileTutor understands this balance and helps students manage their schedule, making sure that they continue to excel in both their music and schoolwork.
2. Understanding Music Theory
Many music students struggle with understanding the complexities of music theory. From reading sheet music to understanding scales and chords, the theory behind music can be difficult for students at the Primary and Secondary School levels. SmileTutor makes music theory accessible by breaking down complex concepts into simple explanations, helping students grasp the fundamentals of music in a fun and engaging way.
3. Performance Anxiety
One of the common struggles for music students is stage fright or performance anxiety, whether it’s playing Piano in front of their classmates or performing at a school concert. Many students find it intimidating to perform, especially when they are still building confidence. SmileTutor’s supportive approach helps boost students’ confidence through small, gradual performances in a comfortable environment, allowing them to grow without the pressure of a large audience.

What’s unique about a 1-to-1 Music Tuition class versus an Music Tuition Centre?
1. Focused Attention on Your Progress
In a music tuition centre, teachers often juggle multiple students at once, making it hard to address your unique challenges. With private lessons, whether it’s mastering piano scales or understanding rhythm on the guitar, your tutor’s undivided attention ensures a faster, more personalized learning experience.
2. Creative Freedom and Exploration
One of the perks of private lessons is the ability to explore a wider range of musical genres and techniques. Whether you’re a Primary School student interested in pop tunes on the piano or a Secondary School student wanting to dive into jazz guitar, the lessons adapt to your interests and allow you to get creative with your music!
3. Stress-free Environment
Home tuition offers several advantages over traditional classroom settings. By eliminating commute time and providing a comfortable learning environment, you can maximize your study time and reduce stress. The flexibility of home tuition allows you to choose a schedule that suits your lifestyle, while Personalised attention ensures you receive the support you need.

Music Tuition Pricing FAQs
What is the difference between the type of Music tutors available?
To simplify things, we group our tutors into three main tutor categories:
– Part-Time Music Tutors – refers to private tutors who doing it part-time. Most of the tutors here are still schooling: A-level graduates, Diploma students/graduates, or Undergraduates. To a lesser extent, there are also University graduates and working professionals offering tuition part-time and they fall under this category. Part-time tutors are the cheapest option for home tuition in Singapore.
– Full-Time Music Tutors – refers to full-time private tutors who teach as a profession. Full-time tutors may/may not be university graduates but often have significantly more teaching experiences than part-time tutors as they tutor lots of students 1-to-1 as well as take up jobs in tuition centres teaching groups of students in classes. The actual qualifications and experience of a full-time tutor can vastly differ between individuals, hence so does the tuition rate they command.
– Music School Teachers – refers to ex/current school teachers either from MOE or from private and international schools. Tutors under this category tend to be the most experienced and qualified in private tutoring and thus command the highest tuition rates. Be prepared to pay a premium in order to engage these teachers successfully.
Do I have to pay any agent fees?
Our services are free-of-charge for parents and students. You are only required to pay for Music lessons conducted. A portion of the total lesson fees usually in the first four weeks of lessons will be allocated to SmileTutor as the agency commission. This is deducted directly from the tutor’s fees, so you do not pay anything extra.
However, there is a 9% GST imposed on the agency commission. For example, if you engage a Music home tutor for $50 per class for once a week, the agency commission will be $100. Hence, the GST imposed is $9. This is only a one-off payment only and from 3rd lesson onward there is no GST since you pay the tutor directly. The tutor’s fees are not subjected to GST.
To facilitate the process for us to collect the agency fees, you are required to cooperate with us by transferring the allocated agency commission (usually 50% of the 1st month fees) + GST directly to SmileTutor. Thereafter, you will pay the remaining lessons to the tutor directly. Our Tuition Coordinators will inform you of the full payment details and instructions upon lesson confirmation.
Are there any contracts?
There are no contracts and obligations until you agree to engage our private Music tutors. When any assignment is confirmed, there are guidelines to follow to ensure that both the student and tutor can have a smooth and rewarding experience.
How can I trust the Music tutors recommended by SmileTutor?
In 2019, we introduced Quality Score™ which is our proprietary system that grades over 50,000 tutors based on multiple factors such as profile completeness, recent job acceptance, track records, parent reviews, and more. With this system, we are able to ensure that parents & students are constantly matched with the cream of the crop Music tutors in Singapore. Since we have introduced this system, the quality of our private Music tutors have improved and our numbers of compliments had increased tremendously.
SmileTutor treats the credibility of our tutor profiles very seriously. All suspicious tutor applications or profiles with missing information are immediately investigated and blacklisted. For tutees who wish to personally verify their tutor’s qualifications and identity, you may request that the tutor bring their relevant certificates on the 1st lesson. (We do not to send online documents due to privacy laws). For current school teachers, it is our SOP to remind tutors to bring teacher’s pass on their first lesson as a form of verification to give tutee a peace of mind.

How can Music tuition help?
Music home tuition can help in students’ confidence by teaching them techniques to problem solve. Private Music tuition can also strengthen subject understanding.

If your child is already struggling in Music, chances are they will avoid the subject as much as they can.

Our Coordinators will ensure that both parties agree on the lesson details and pricing before confirming the lessons.

Can I request for a specific tutor?
Sure, if you have any tutors in mind, feel free to give us a call at +65 6266 4475 and let us know the information of the Maths tutor you are looking for. As we have the most extensive database in Singapore, we may be able to find the tutor you are looking for.
Alternatively, you may view some of our latest available tutors at our ‘View Tutors’ page. From this page you can do some DIY sourcing and indicate your interest directly there. However, do note that the availability of the tutor may not be guaranteed. Our Coordinators will be swift to advice you on the availabilities of the requested tutor and recommend any similar tutors that may be available if needed.
Where are the Music tuition lessons conducted?
The Music tutoring lessons will be conducted at a pre-determined location according to your preference (usually at your home). If it is not convenient to have tuition conducted at your home, you may request for the tuition to be conducted somewhere else, such as the tutors home or at a convenient public location such as libraries, cafeterias, hostels, etc.
The location of the tuition lessons should be determined before the confirmation of lessons. Any change in address after lessons have started is subject to both parties approval
How are lessons conducted?
One of the main benefits of private tutoring is that we do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Every Music tutor has their unique methodology, personality, and teaching style. During the prospecting phase, our coordinators do our due diligence to find out your child’s needs and weakest points in the Music subject in order to match the most suitable tutor.
Usually, the first lesson is a ‘getting to know’ phase, where tutors will gauge your child’s interest in the subject, current level of proficiency, and spot areas of weakness. From the second lesson onwards, tutors will generally be more prepared to conduct the lessons according to the student’s learning or syllabus.
If you are a more hands-on parent, you can also communicate with the tutor and provide suggestions on which area you’d like the tutor to focus more on (i.e. composition writing). As there are no fixed lesson plans or arrangements, both the clients and tutors are free to discuss and conduct their lessons in any way that benefits the student’s learning.
Can I postpone lessons dates & timings?
Yes, of course. However, all postponements of lessons must be made at least 24 hours in advance of lessons, except for special cases (such as medical emergencies).
For postponement of the first lesson, SmileTutor must be informed via phone call at +65 6266 4475 (Mon to Sun 9am-8pm). A confirmation SMS will be sent to you acknowledging your postponement after the call. However, if you are informing at least 48 hours in advance, an SMS made to +65 9014 4201 will suffice.
Postponements of lessons after the first lesson may be made directly between tutor and tutee.
Please note that failure to make a postponement at least 24 hours in advance may incur compensation to the tutor for time loss (e.g wasted trips). Generally, the compensation amount is 50% of 1-lesson fee.
Can I terminate lessons if the tutor is not suitable?
You may terminate the tuition at any time after the first lesson but must inform SmileTutor at least 24 hours in advance of the next lesson and must pay for all lessons conducted. Terminations made less than 24 hours before the lesson will incur a late charge of 50% of that lesson’s total fee.
Termination Procedure
1. Inform SmileTutor via a phone call to +65 6266 4475 (9am-8pm) at least 24 hours in advance before the next lesson
2. Pay for lessons conducted, half directly to SmileTutor and WhatsApp the receipt to our Finance Dept. at +65 9450 4390
3. Pay the other half directly to the tutor
However, note that once you have confirmed the assignment to book the tutor in quote, there is a binding contract to complete one full lesson and you may only request a change of tutor or terminate the tuition only after that 1st lesson. If you decide to change your mind before the 1st lesson even commenced, the fee for the unfinished first lesson may be charged as an administrative fee.
Will tutors postpone lessons?
SmileTutor does not encourage tutors to make frequent postponements to the lessons. However, we do encourage you to offer some degree of flexibility as tutors are also human and may fall sick or have sudden emergencies from time to time.
If the tutor we assigned to you happen to make postponements more frequently than you prefer, you may wish to communicate with them and remind them to stick to the usual lesson schedule. Sometimes, a simple effort to communicate between both parties can go a long way in avoiding any disruption in lessons or last-minute discrepancies.
If you face further difficulties with your tutor in this area, please feedback to us immediately and we will arrange a new tutor for you.
Can my tutor terminate the lessons?
For termination of lessons, tutors are expected to commit for at least the 4-weeks of tuition. If the tutor backs out of an assignment without a valid reason (e.g. illness) before completing at least 4-weeks of tuition, he/she will not be entitled to receive any tuition fees. i.e. You will only be required to pay 50% of the tuition fees (plus any applicable taxes) directly to the agency.
Unfortunately, we are unable to force tutors to commit for more than 4-weeks. However, we do encourage responsible behaviour and let our tutors know that they should do their best to commit at least until the end of year exams. Most of our tutors follow through.
What about adding of subjects or students (e.g siblings)?
You may wish to try out one subject first and then add more subjects subsequently. Or, when starting the tuition, you may find yourself wanting to increase the frequency of lessons or to engage the same tutor for your other children. In any of these cases, please make your request through the agency in order to stay protected and keep the tutor accountable to the agency.
SmileTutor is not responsible for any engagements made outside of the agency’s knowledge. Hence, tutors and tutees are expected to inform their coordinators of any added lessons or changes to the lessons schedule/subjects/tutees immediately.
How do I feedback to SmileTutor regarding my good/bad experience?
You may email us at Email for any feedback or questions that are not answered under this FAQ.
For private feedback about the agency service, you may contact Rum (Founder) at 97558257 or email him at Rum Email.
We appreciate your help in providing us accurate feedback so as to improve our service and system.

Why Are Singaporean Parents Investing in Music Lessons for Their Kids?
1. Cognitive and Emotional Benefits
Learning an instrument enhances cognitive abilities such as memory and concentration, benefiting students throughout their educational journey, including Secondary School where more complex subjects require mental agility.
2. Improved Academic Performance
Research shows that students who engage in music education tend to perform better academically. Whether in Primary, Secondary School, or even JC, music helps sharpen analytical skills needed in subjects like mathematics and languages.
3. Early Cognitive Development
Preschool music tuition is a fantastic way to boost a child’s cognitive skills, including memory, pattern recognition, and language development. These foundational abilities benefit all areas of learning as they progress through their education.
The path to musical excellence can be rewarding, but it also comes with pressure. Watching peers easily master difficult pieces can lead to self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. This can create a toxic atmosphere where fear of failure takes away the joy of music. If not managed, this fear can turn into anxiety, stopping students from fully enjoying and reaching their musical potential.
What to Consider When Choosing the Right Music Tutor
SmileTutor is prepared to help your child master Music.
Qualifications and Experience
At SmileTutor, we know that a tutor’s qualifications and experience are crucial for your child’s success in music. Our music tutors hold degrees or diplomas in music education, providing them with a strong foundation in music theory, pedagogy, and performance.

Teaching Style and Approach
Choosing the right music tuition teacher is a crucial step in your child’s musical development. The teaching style and approach of the tutor can make a world of difference in creating an enjoyable, effective, and motivating learning environment. A good match between the student and the teacher not only enhances the learning experience but also helps build a positive attitude towards music.
At SmileTutor, we recognize that every child is unique, and so are their learning needs. We take the time to carefully match students with teachers who complement their learning style and personality.
Some students might thrive in a more structured and traditional setting where step-by-step guidance is provided, while others might flourish in a more creative and exploratory environment where they can experiment and learn through play. Regardless of their preferred approach, we ensure that your child’s educational experience is both enriching and tailored to their strengths.
Teachers who can adapt their methods to suit the student’s pace and needs can significantly enhance motivation, making the journey to musical excellence a lot more enjoyable. At SmileTutor, we prioritize finding that perfect fit to help your child thrive in their musical journey.
