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.

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.
