How it works
Step 2
We will set up a time to speak over the phone and learn about your musical likes and dislikes, your experience, and aspirations. The chat usually lasts 10-15 minutes, its goal being to determine exactly what kind of tutor and teaching style will work for your best.
Step 3
After the call, we will email you with what we believe will be our best tutor for you, based on the chat above. You can look over their CV, history, and call up their references.
Step 4
If you like what you see, we can organise a first lesson whenever it is convenient for you. If you like it and wish to continue, you can arrange further lessons directly with your tutor.
Our guitar teachers
All our violin tutors are professionals or late stage students from NYC’s top conservatoires, such as the Manhattan School of Music or the Juilliard School, and are all DBS checked, so you know you will be in very good hands!
In order to teach guitar lessons for MuseCool, our tutors must first pass a series of thorough personal checks and interviews, and show the relevant experience and expertise not only as professionally trained guitar virtuosos, but also as tutors in various educational settings. Additional skills beyond mere competency on the guitar are a must, such as patience, organisation, and very good empathetic listening
We only work with the top 10% guitar tutors in NYC!
Guitar lessons online
If price is a concern, or if it is simply not convenient for you to welcome a tutor into your home, we also offer private online lessons from only $22/session – the most affordable rate in the US for this level of tuition!
Our online guitar tutors will create a bespoke learning experience for each child to help them attain their musical goals. All our online guitar students will of course still benefit from our great range of events, concerts, competitions, and group courses.
Guitar lessons at home
While learning guitar through our online sessions is perfectly viable, our private at home lessons cost from only $62/session – providing you with an even more detailed and guided learning experience.
Your tutor will visit your home at any reasonable time that is convenient for you, as often as you wish. The lesson times are flexible and amendable, with only a 24h notice period being required.
Getting a guitar
We can help our students find a guitar that suits them, helping you make the best decision when investing in a musical instrument.
Our office staff have excellent technical knowledge, and will be able to make suggestions based on their expansive experience as both teachers and former students themselves.
Worried about purchasing a guitar at the beginning of your child’s musical journey? We offer all our new students a free guitar for their first month, after which it will cost only from only $15/month in rent for as long as you need it!
What else is included?
ABRSM Exams
Events, competitions, and concerts
Here at MuseCool we aim to offer our students not just regular good quality instrumental tuition, but also an avenue to experience one of the best thing about learning to to play - making music with others and performing.
We even have a musical double decker bus where our students can have workshops and concerts across NYC!
In a regular school year we offer: weekly group workshops in various parts of NYC, three concerts - where our students can showcase their progress in front of their friends and family, and two student competitions with cash prizes to give our pupils something tangible to work towards alongside more regular ABRSM exams. We keep music exciting!
Who we are
MuseCool is a service focused on delivering specialised music tuition at home, online, or in group settings to children and adults across NYC. Originally from London, UK, where we are one of the largest music schools in the country, we have been featured in the media on numerous occasions, including the BBC!
We have been particularly successful with the MusicOnWheels social inclusion project, where we bought a double decker bus and converted it into a musical space, taking it to various areas of London to deliver musical education free at point of use to underprivileged children in London, UK, in partnership with Brent, Westminster, and the Arts Council. A 6min presentation video made by Emmy award winning film-maker Joe Pavlo is available here.
