Specialist, 1:1 support through music

At Send for a Tutor, we believe every child deserves access to a rich and meaningful music education. We are designed specifically for students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, delivering individual one-to-one in person lessons.

Music as a Pathway to Learning

Music offers children with SEND a unique and powerful way to engage with learning. It supports communication, emotional regulation, motor development, memory, and self-esteem — all while being joyful and expressive. For many students, music becomes a gateway to connection, confidence, and creativity.

Personalised Support from a SEND Specialist

Each student is supported by a dedicated SEND specialist who works closely with the:

  • School — liaising with SENCOs and classroom teachers in align with each student’s EHCP

  • Tutor — supporting lesson design and ongoing learning adjustments

  • Parent/Carer — ensuring goals are aligned with family needs

  • Student — understanding their preferences, strengths and support needs

Together, we develop an individual music learning plan that fits seamlessly into your child’s broader educational journey. We carefully monitor progress and adapt lessons regularly to suit how each student learns best.
