Tim says, "Next Note Muisc has been and is a great guitar, bass, uke, Trumpet teacher to both my son, daughter and I. They are extremely knowledgeable when it comes to all kinds of string instruments. They work hard to make schedules work and have always been flexible and understanding. They relate to us very well and enjoys tailoring lessons around our goals. One week they may be playing the uke then the next guitar. It can be difficult and nerve racking finding a teacher you are comfortable inviting into you home. Finding Next Note Music was a good thing and I have never had concerns once we had our first lesson." Read more

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

Welcome to Kye Harris Music Academy, where the joy of music meets the art of teaching. My name is Kye, and I am passionate about sharing the love of music with my students. My journey in music began at the age of four, when my grandmother introduced me to the world of classical piano. Since then, music has been a central part of my life. Growing up in the vibrant church communities throughout Chicago, I developed my skills on piano, bass, guitar, drums, and vocals. This foundation led me to form a pop-rock band with my brothers, a venture that culminated in a major record deal with Sony Epic Records. Over the years, I've had the privilege of

Your Guitar Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do guitar lessons cost near me?

Guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per lesson, depending on if they last 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. If it's a one-on-one lesson, it'll cost around $45 to $70 hourly. Learning guitar in a group is cheaper at $25 to $35 per session.

If you're taking lessons every month, it adds up to $170 to $315 with the typical prepaid discount.

Are guitar lessons worth it?

Guitar lessons are worth it since only a professional teacher giving you live feedback can guide you to learn faster. A good instructor helps you understand your mistakes and prevents you from developing bad habits.

Learning guitar by yourself takes a lot longer and won't prepare you as well to play in public.

At what age should I start guitar lessons?

Children can start guitar lessons from the ages of 6 to 10, or when they can comfortably hold the guitar and press the strings. Adults can start guitar lessons at any age, provided they practice regularly and patiently.

How many guitar lessons do I need?

The number of guitar lessons you need varies according to your goal and your practice routine. For many people, it typically takes about 2 to 6 months to play a simple tune. Mastering the guitar like a professional can take anywhere from 4 to 10 years.

What do you learn in guitar lessons?

In most guitar lessons, you can expect to learn:

  • How to correctly position your fingers to play chords
  • How to tune your guitar
  • How to play various scales
  • New techniques for plucking and strumming
  • How to read sheet music.

Are online guitar lessons good?

Online guitar lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour and are good for getting personal instruction from skilled teachers worldwide. Take advantage of flexible scheduling and immediate feedback while learning new guitar-playing styles. Plus, you can easily record lessons to review their advice later.

How do I find the best guitar lessons near me?

In order to find the best guitar lessons for you, look through nearby teachers listed here on the Lessons website. You can also ask for teachers at local music stores or community colleges.

Before you hire a guitar teacher, make sure to:

  • Check out prices from at least 3 different teachers.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask for a list of their current or previous students that you can talk to.
  • Talk to other parents about the teacher's reputation with their children.
  • Make sure you get a written agreement and schedule before your first lesson.
  • Avoid making a big payment upfront for a month of lessons until you're comfortable with the teacher.

What questions do I ask when choosing a guitar teacher?

To find the right guitar teacher, you can ask them these questions:

  • What kind of music degree do you have?
  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching guitar?
  • Can I have a free trial lesson to see if your teaching style helps me?
  • What is the average age of your students?
  • Will you assign me finger exercises as homework?
  • How often should I practice between lessons?
  • What textbooks do I need, and where can I buy used ones?
  • How many guitar-playing styles are you an expert in?
  • Can you modify your teaching style to suit my learning abilities?
  • What should I bring to our lessons, and how long is each one?
  • Can I get a copy of our schedule, agreement, and payment terms?
  • What is your policy if I have to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I choose some of my favorite songs to learn on the guitar?

Reviews for Redondo Beach guitar teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Redondo Beach area.
John
Dan is an amazing teacher and all around awesome guy. I started with Dan about 3 years ago thinking that there is no way I could learn how to play the electric guitar at the age of 40?! I'm so happy to report that I now can play so many of the songs I love and consider myself an intermediate player. Dan is super patient and totally open to trying new songs, even some of my depressing Joy Division favorites. Oh and talk about patience....he also teaches my daughter and her friend acoustic guitar and has to teach them One Direction and Bieber songs. Now that's patience! Highly, highly recommended.

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!
