Bruce Burger

I've been teaching guitar for over 30 years. Electric, acoustic,... all are fair game. Making it fun, while developing skills and technique is where I focus. Nothing succeeds like success so we go from strength to strength. This applies to all ages, children through adults. Improvisation is always fun and inspiring so we learn music theory, applying it along the way. It's also interesting to introduce other styles like world music while still working on more expected styles like blues, classic rock, and jazz. My students range from amateurs, playing for enjoyment to professionals who have gone on to d

Piano Master

I am able to comfortably work with students of any age and I'm comfortable teaching any style of music.
I also know how to mix up my lessons with students by having them playing a song that they're working on, having them do music theory games, practicing with flashcards, and answering whatever questions they have. It's always been a passion to help my students progress in their musical journey.
As a bonus, I am also able to play any song whether by sheet music or by listening to it.
I have over 6 years of experience in teaching individual music lessons, and have been playing all my life. As another bonus, I tune pianos.

Ken Wilcox Guitar Lessons
My teaching approach:
Helping people light their fire for music, one private lesson at a time! I\'ve been playing and teaching guitar professionally for 21 years, and it\'s never felt like a job to me. Practice music that you love and that fits your musical taste! So many teachers have their students play music that they don\'t care about, but that\'s the fastest way to kill a student\'s passion and drive to keep practicing. With each of my students, I tailor a customized lesson plan based on what their interests and curiosities are, so that they\'ll master the fundamentals and be able to play the music they love at the

Frequently asked questions
How much do guitar lessons cost?
The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 per hour. Available for all ages and all skill levels of guitar playing, the pricing of individual or group guitar lessons can start as low as $20/hour. Teachers charge based on their location, years of teaching, levels of knowledge and expertise, and travel time (if applicable). Lessons can last from half an hour to a full hour, and are priced accordingly.
How long does it take to learn guitar?
If you just want to learn a few chords to strum along to some songs, then learning to play the guitar really isn't that hard for most people. Many students are able to learn a few chords and get a decent strumming pattern going after a few weeks. If you've had prior experience playing an instrument, you can expect to pick it up after just a few lessons.
Should I take guitar lessons online or in person lessons?
Private in person guitar lessons with a skilled instructor that is focused on you, your interests, and your progress is the most sought after experience and hard to replicate online. Plus, you tend to learn faster in person. On the other hand, online guitar lessons are quickly becoming popular. The selection of teachers is not limited to those in your geographical area and you can communicate via video in real time with your teacher in the comfort of your home. When filling out your request on Lessons.com, we recommend you select both online and local options, then compare your options and see what works best for you.
How old should children be before starting guitar lessons?
A child as young as 4 can begin to learn if they are really motivated and have a patient, creative, and devoted teacher. However, we've found almost all kids under six are too young to benefit from formal guitar lessons, as they require dexterity and levels of concentration children their age can't provide. That being said, lessons do not need to be formal right off the bat, and can just provide a fun introduction. Also, your child may benefit from using a ukulele to start, as it's smaller and easier to learn, but very similar instrument.
