Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors who attended or graduated from Manhattan School of Music bring firsthand knowledge of rigorous music training and performance standards. They understand the technical demands, practice strategies, and mindset needed to succeed in advanced music study, making them uniquely qualified to guide students preparing for conservatory auditions, music theory exams, or performance competitions.

These tutors excel in music performance coaching, music theory, ear training, composition, music history, and audition preparation across all instruments and voice. Many also have experience with standardized music theory exams (AP Music Theory, Abrsm exams) and can guide students through the conservatory application process based on their own experiences.

Yes. Tutors with MSM backgrounds understand exactly what conservatory auditions require—from repertoire selection and technical polish to the mental preparation needed for high-stakes performances. They can provide personalized feedback on your pieces, help you develop a competitive audition strategy, and share insights from their own audition experiences.

During your first session, the tutor will assess your current level, discuss your musical goals (whether that's improving technique, preparing for an audition, or mastering music theory), and create a personalized learning plan. This gives you a chance to build rapport and ensure the tutor's expertise aligns with your needs.

Absolutely. Many Manhattan School of Music alumni tutors work with students on both theory and applied music. Some students benefit from pairing performance coaching with theory instruction to deepen their understanding of the music they're playing and strengthen their overall musicianship.

With consistent, personalized instruction from an experienced tutor, students typically see improvements in technical proficiency, musical interpretation, confidence, and exam performance within weeks. Many students preparing for auditions or competitions report significant gains in their competitive positioning and performance readiness.

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors based on your specific musical goals, instruments or voice type, and learning preferences. Once matched, you can schedule your first session at a time that works for you and begin personalized instruction right away.

Learning from an MSM alumnus means you're getting guidance from someone who has navigated the same rigorous training environment and achieved success at an elite level. Their direct experience with conservatory standards, faculty expectations, and advanced repertoire gives them credibility and insight that can accelerate your growth as a musician.
