Kenneth G. says, "Tim is a great guy. He has been giving voice lessons to our son for at least 5 years. His personality and approach to kids is great. Our son has won awards, talent shows and acting roles with Tim's help. Tim never hesitated to provide individualized preparation that supported each of those achievements, and even showed up at dress rehearsals and just to be in the audience. On more than one occasion, after a performance, other parents asked us for Tim's information so they could also get lessons for their child." Read more

Dana L. says, "I’ve been studying classical guitar with William (at his location) for about 6 months. Initially, he helped me find an instrument that would meet my needs and taught me how to care for it. I’d call him a connoisseur of classical acoustic guitars! He knows how they should sound and has valuable guidance to provide for beginning guitarists like me who may not be as able to see or hear the differences. I’m glad I got his advice before making a commitment / investment on a particular instrument. I am 46 and have a musical background (I already play both piano and trombone). William has very effectively adapted his teaching to fit with the skills I already have. In some cases that means speeding up and in other cases going back to basics to make sure I have the fundamentals down. His knowledge of music and musical instruments enables him to very effectively describe to experienced musicians how the guitar is different from what they are used to and what they’ll need to pay attention to. William has been very focused on the details of correct technique, preferring to slow down and work specific things rather than moving on or cutting corners for the sake of getting through the method materials. If you want to learn how to play completely, correctly, efficiently and without hurting yourself William is your teacher. One of the things I appreciate the most is William’s patience. He’s a stickler for correct technique so he doesn’t let errors slide, but he corrects in a way that is both helpful and encouraging. There’s no bit of guidance that he’s given me that, when I put it into practice, doesn’t dramatically help my progress. I’ve learned in a very short time to really listen to him. He knows what he’s talking about. I can wholeheartedly recommend William to anyone wanting to learn to play guitar. He’s one of the best music instructors I’ve ever had! I’m happy to answer anyone’s questions on my experiences with William or this review." Read more

Laudon S. says, "I began taking guitar lessons with Michael Singer in 1999 when I was 13 years old and continued taking lessons for about 3 years. Today, I am a professional musician in the Baltimore/Washington area, performing concerts and completing my doctorate in music. There is little doubt that if I had to name the most influential person in my career as a musician, it would be Michael. His passion, commitment, and skills as a teacher laid the foundation for everything else that I have done. He was encouraging but demanding, selfless in his pursuit to help me attain my goals. When I decided that I wanted to do music professionally, he took that seriously and taught me to understand the amount of work that it would require and guided me in that work, both technically and musically. Essentially, he initiated me into the rigorous but wonderful world of professional musicians. To this day, Michael and I stay in touch. He has never lost interest in what I was doing or where I was and has supported me in every decision I have made. I wouldn’t trade my time with Michael for the world and I couldn’t recommend a better guitar teacher. " Read more

Your classical guitar questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do classical guitar lessons cost near me?

Most classical guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per session for durations of 30 to 60 minutes. One-on-one lessons typically cost between $45 and $70 per hour, whereas group sessions are a more affordable option at $25 to $35 per class.

For those who prefer a digital classroom, online lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour. Monthly ongoing instruction costs $170 to $315 with a prepaid discount.

Why should I take classical guitar lessons?

You should take classical guitar lessons if you have an acoustic guitar and want to learn how to play classical concertos or Spanish-style music with fingerpicking.

Classical guitar lessons teach you how to:

  • Use nylon-string guitars and strum with the fingers instead of a pick
  • Develop your fingers to focus on complex fingerpicking techniques
  • Understand classical music theory and sight-reading

At what age should I start classical guitar lessons?

Children generally begin their classical guitar journey between the ages of 6 to 10, or as soon as they can hold the instrument well with enough hand strength to press the strings. Adults of all ages can master the instrument with the correct guidance and consistent practice.

How many classical guitar lessons do I need?

The number of weekly classical guitar lessons you need will depend on your personal goals and dedication to practice. A beginner might grasp a simple song within 2 to 6 months, but acquiring proficiency like a professional requires 4 to 10 years on average.

How do I find the best classical guitar lessons near me?

You can find proficient classical guitar tutors nearby by looking at the listings here on the Lessons platform. Sometimes teachers ara available through local music stores too.

Before hiring your tutor, always:

  • Obtain quotes from a minimum of 3 teachers and clarify what they teach.
  • Review feedback about them on Google and the Lessons site.
  • Request a reference list of their past students.
  • Ask fellow parents about their children's experiences with the tutor.
  • Secure a written agreement and schedule prior to the first session.
  • Make small initial payments to gauge the tutor's compatibility before committing to a full month.

What questions do I ask when choosing a classical guitar teacher?

Ask these pertinent questions to help you pick a classical guitar teacher:

  • Did you study music formally, and what qualifications do you have?
  • How many years have you been teaching classical guitar?
  • Could I have a trial lesson to see if your teaching method works for me?
  • What is the typical age range of your students?
  • Which model of acoustic guitar should I purchase?
  • Will you assign homework, and how much practice is required?
  • What type of strings are best for beginners?
  • Which books should I buy for learning classical guitar?
  • Can you accommodate different learning styles?
  • What essentials should I bring to class, and how long is each session?
  • Can I have a written copy of our class schedule?
  • What is your policy for missed classes?
  • Am I allowed to suggest songs that I would like to learn?

Kyle M.
I've been taking lessons with Mike for close to two years. I had been playing guitar for a long time when we met, so I was already pretty familiar with the guitar but over the last two years my skills and knowledge have improved considerably. Mike is a really good guy and a great guitarist/musician with a whole lot of experience and no shortage of things to teach. For the past several months I've been writing and recording songs and Mike has been helping me with that process. His input and contributions have been invaluable and we've been able to take several basic ideas and turn them into nearly complete songs (they're still in progress). Mike will teach you how to be a better musician/guitarist regardless of your goals or experience level. Hiring Mike was one of the better decisions I've ever made. If you want to learn to play guitar, Mike's your guy.

Seven years ago we met Tim Juillet. He became my son, William’s guitar teacher. He is the most patient, passionate, and genuine instructor. His teaching style is very encouraging and light hearted. He doesn’t shame the kids or guilt trip them. He tries to show them his passion for music hoping that one day it will rub off onto them and that they will catch the vision. It took my son about a year and a half for the guitar cords to finally be arranged in his brain where it made sense to him. Through Tim’s encouragement, he did not give up. Tim also teaches voice lessons and has a performing arts degree. About four years ago, William went to an opera. Tim was able to speak to the experience and passionately help William to see the beauty of it. Now my son has been taking voice lessons for the past year because he wants to do more with theatre. Above all else, Tim’s love for Christ and his devotion to mentor young people is most evident in my son’s life. Tim not only has challenged William in learning guitar and voice, but also challenged his views on life. Thank you, Tim!!

I am 48 years old and started taking lessons from William a few months ago. William is very patient and thorough. I have learned more in these few months than I have in all the years I have been trying to teach myself. I would highly recommend William if you are looking for a guitar instructor, regardless of your background or specific music style interest.

I have received outstanding instruction and support from Michael Singer. I have been a self taught player who has been trying to break through walls. Michaels instruction is patient, and I have seen fast results, corrected poor habits and seen my technique improve dramatically with only a months worth of lessons, and I am looking forward to where he will take me in the future.
