Kelly T. says, "Such a wonderful teacher! Patient, encouraging, knowledgeable, and knows how to break things down for me as a beginning guitar player. :). It is clear that Jose genuinely loves teaching, maybe as much as music. He finds the perfect balance of teaching through songs that I love, but also introducing me to songs/etudes that teach me more about music than I know to ask. :) I’m learning so much! I have also loved his personalized follow up videos which I can refer to anytime. Highly recommend Jose!" Read more

The Guitar, along with its various stringed kin, has the very unique quality of being able to adapt to a players sound. The concept of "bone tone", along with a players' own vibrato or picking/strumming style, elevates the guitars dynamic capabilities. The aesthetic also cannot be ignored as it has launched entire genres and cultures around it. As a teacher I try to incorporate some of this historic information into the lessons to help cultivate a genuine interest in the instrument. I also typically assess a players' ability first before moving on to some of the more advanced exercises. I have an extensive songbook and a few tips and tricks t...

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?
