Hello, Thank you for contacting me. I am a session bassist/guitarist who graduated B.M. from Berklee College of Music in Boston. I have been an instructor over 20 years, and have been taught bass, guitar and ukulele in multiple settings (private lessons, group classes in elementary schools, and college level band classes) My teaching style is very relaxed. I do not want to rush my students. I want to play tunes together, talk about how they practiced and what was difficult, answering questions until they make sense. Then I will give my students very specific homework to work on. I believe that if I ask them to work on something they do not...

Robert G. says, "I took lessons with Chuck for nine years. He taught me electric and acoustic guitar, electric bass, music theory, how to sing, and how to write songs. Chuck is receptive to whichever direction you want to take your learning. If you want to learn pop, punk, jazz, metal, classic rock, blues — you name it, he has you covered. If you want to learn a specific song in a given genre, Chuck can teach it to you and write out the tabs for you to reference between lessons. If you want to learn how to play in a new genre, Chuck can give you exercises and songs to develop your technique. He’s patient when you’re learning something new, and he’s happy to walk you through any sheet music to make sure you understand what’s happening and how to play it. Chuck has been instrumental in helping me develop my craft as a songwriter. He’s a killer songwriter himself, and he knows what he’s talking about when it comes to writing standout, professional songs. He offers lyrical critique, options for how to harmonize melodies, and sound advice on how and when to edit your musical ideas. He can also help you set the song in a key that sits comfortably within your vocal range. This makes a huge difference when you’re first learning to perform your own songs, because singing your songs well builds confidence as a singer-songwriter. If you’re thinking about taking lessons from Chuck, I think it’s worth a try. He has such deep knowledge of music that he can help you get wherever you want to go. It’s also a lot of fun to talk about the history of modern music and the impact different artists have had over the years." 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?

My daughter takes lessons with Cal Music and has taken voice, piano and guitar lessons. In the years she has taken lessons, she has learned alot and had many wonderful teachers. The performances have given her confidence beyond what I though they would. I would highly recommend this studios for beginners and advanced students. I have recently decided to try to learn to sing as well and they found me the perfect teacher who makes me feel comfortable and I love my lessons also. We will be long time students here and would not go anywhere else.

Coming in with no voice or piano experience was daunting to begin with. However, the uplifting and informative guidance i received from Raffia really motivated and inspired me. A year and four months later, I find myself still inspired and motivated to keep growing and learning.

Jason has a great disposition and connects quite well with my somewhat cynical teen! He also makes a smooth transition from the guitar lesson to the basketball skills training. I love that he makes sure to include conditioning in the basketball class and that my daughter gets to learn songs that she really likes. She looks forward to her classes every week. We will definitely be continuing with the lessons!
