Unlock the personal value in every note with individual lessons.
Professional Network Access
One of our core values is making sure children are not turned off by musical education. We use creative and gamified teaching techniques that ensure that students stay inspired and enthusiastic.
Our lessons are shaped by in-depth academic research in the history and philosophy of music education. Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach commonly found in many High Street music schools, we draw on a rich, scholarly understanding of music pedagogy to offer a tailored, thoughtful, and effective learning experience for each student.
Evidence-Based Teaching
Joyful, Lasting Music Education
Our students are not only matched with expert tutors deeply rooted in Oxford's rich musical traditions and industry, but also benefit from ongoing collaboration with a diverse network of professionals across various musical niches. This dynamic approach broadens their skill set and enhances their versatility as musicians.
How does it work?
At Note Value, every student begins their journey with a personalized consultation. By getting to understand your personal interests, our Managing Director will pair you with an expert individual tutor, and develop a plan for you to engage with professionals across different musical niches in a comfortable lesson environment. Using this approach, we turn challenging or "boring" parts of the traditional music syllabus into engaging and enjoyable ventures.
Exposition: Personalised Consultation
Development: Responsive Education
We pride ourselves on catering to the needs of all students, and understand that musical education can encompass learning for fun, as practice for ensemble performances, as well as (for instance) for ABRSM exams and GCSE/A-Level specifications. Your tutor will ensure that your music education is holistic and helps you efficiently achieve your goals. This ensures that your practice and learning are avenues for expression, rather than onerous tasks to complete.
Recapitulation: Supporting Curiosity
Even if you had your heart set on only one instrument or performance style, at Note Value, we are most excited when students want to step out of their comfort zones. Part of your educational package at Note Value will include support whenever you decide to switch things up, and our managing director will be happy to amend your initial plan to help you seek musical joy wherever you want to find it.
The 'Exposition', 'Development' and 'Recapitulation' are the three sections that typically make up a Sonata, a common structure for instrumental and orchestral pieces!
