Elise S. says, "I took flute lessons from Fran for several years before going to college. Taking lessons with her gave me the confidence to give more effortless performances. We worked on technique, articulation, tone, phrasing and more. By taking lessons with Fran, I had much more confidence in my playing - leading to my acceptance into Colorado All State Band and All State Orchestra in top chair positions. Fran is just as wonderful a person as she is a flute teacher and musician. Whether you've never played flute, or are an advanced player, Fran has so much to offer to excel in your playing. I cannot recommend Fran enough if you're looking to improve your flute playing!" Read more

Tiffany K. says, "My daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Miguel for the last two years. He's so gifted at meeting her where she's at. He's great at working with kids (she's 11) and engaging her with learning music that she loves (she's in her Taylor Swift era). She loves playing and continues to improve with his skilled guidance and enthusiasm. Miguel is a rare gem - a professional guitarist at the top of his field who also excels as a teacher. We feel fortunate to have found him!" Read more

Bella G. says, "I have been a student of Leandro’s for a while now. If you would have told me back when I started how much Leandro would help my voice become stronger, more confident and healthy, I would not have believed you. He has played a vital part in me landing roles in theatre and getting into a reputable musical theatre collage program. Leandro is the definition of a professional, punctual and kind voice teacher. I would recommend him to anyone looking to progress in their vocal journey." Read more

I couldn’t be happier with the ease of booking, communication, high quality teachers, and the fact that they come to your home for lessons is the most convenient thing ever! I can get so much more done having one less activity to shuttle around for. My daughter loves her teacher and I won’t use any other company for our music lesson needs. I’m even considering taking up guitar myself! Really appreciate the genius behind this quality and convenient company for hard working parents." Read more

I bring to my students a wealth of experiences from a very expansive background. My experience as a classical violinist includes the Denver Symphony (now the Colorado Symphony) as well as Concertmaster of the Colorado Ballet. When I was nine years old, my earliest fiddling experience was with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys in Dallas, Texas. My championships include state as well as National Champion in my age division. Most of my fiddling early on was by ear so it was a natural path for me to embrace the Suzuki rote approach to violin teaching. My early introduction to rote teaching was with Suzuki during a summer at the Eastman School of M

Normalyn N. says, "My daughter started taking ukulele lessons with Eric on Zoom during the spring of the pandemic. At 10-years-old, she was the youngest and only child in a beginners group ukulele class of adults. But she held her own and with Eric's coaching, she was able to learn to play fairly quickly. It was great for her to be able to learn an instrument and have a creative outlet during that tough time of quarantine. It also sparked the beginning of her love for music that has continued to grow now as she is in her teen years. As she got older, she transitioned from ukulele lessons to private guitar (both acoustic and electric) as well as piano lessons. Through the years she has learned so much from Eric. She went from a kid with no musical background to reading music fluently, studying music theory, playing four instruments, and performing guitar solos at school concerts. It's amazing how much she was able to learn through her weekly virtual lessons with Eric. He is an amazing music teacher and great with kids. He is patient, encouraging, and able to deliver instruction in a way that makes it easy and enjoyable to learn. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a music teacher for their young kids or teens." Read more

I thoroughly enjoy my piano studio, and feel thankful on a weekly basis that I get to work with such wonderful kids and families. I am a serious but nurturing teacher, and have had many students who have remained with my studio for years. I believe that parents need to be involved in helping their child schedule practice time through middle school at a minimum. I teach my own daughters and still remind them to get to the piano. The more piano becomes a regular routine, the more successful a child or adult learner will be at it. I believe that we as parents of budding musicians need to encourage them in their practice and insist upon it. I tea...

Your Music Lessons questions, answered

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

How much do music lessons cost?

Music lessons cost $40 to $90 per hour. Most teachers offer weekly lessons in order to provide regular feedback, keep students motivated, and provide enough opportunities to learn new techniques and pieces of music. More frequent lessons do not provide enough time to practice and master skills between lessons.

To save money on music lessons consider group lessons, which are often cheaper than private lessons and allow you to learn from other students. Another option is to take online lessons which tend to be more affordable than in-person lessons and can be a great way to learn from a qualified teacher that isn't local. Finally, look for scholarships or grants to help pay for music lessons.

At what age can you start music lessons?

The best age to start music lessons depends on the individual and their interests. Most experts agree that children can start learning music as early as 3 or 4 years old when they can communicate and follow instructions. There is no age that is too late to take music lessons – even seniors can benefit from learning or improving their musical skills.

Studies have shown that children who are exposed to music at an early age have better language skills, memory, and problem-solving skills. Music lessons help improve fine motor skills like hand-eye coordination and finger dexterity which are important for other activities like writing and drawing. Learning to play an instrument can also build a child's self-confidence and help to develop a child's creativity.

How long does it take to learn an instrument?

The amount of time it takes to learn an instrument depends on the instrument, the student's age, and the amount of time they practice. In general, it takes several months to a year to learn the basics of most instruments including how to read music and play basic scales and chords. With regular practice, students can expect to play simple songs within a few months.

Piano, guitar, and percussion instruments are some of the easier instruments to learn. Strings and horn instruments take a bit longer to learn. Becoming proficient at any instrument takes several years of lessons and regular practice.

Do I need an instrument at home to take music lessons?

No, you do not need an instrument at home to take music lessons, but it does make it easier to practice and improve your skills. Without an instrument at home, you will need to find an instrument to practice between lessons if you hope to improve.

Before investing in any musical instrument, you will want to talk with the music teacher to find the instrument that is right for you. Guitars are a popular instrument for beginners since they are relatively inexpensive to buy. The flute is another simple instrument to learn and is a good choice for students who want to learn to play an instrument quickly. Pianos are a more costly instrument but are a popular choice for families since everyone can enjoy playing the same instrument.

How do online music lessons work?

Online music lessons are similar to in-person lessons, only the teacher and student are not in the same physical location. Using video conferencing platforms such as Skype or Zoom, the teacher and students can communicate with each other from the privacy of their homes.

In order to take advantage of the affordable online lessons, you need a computer and internet connection with good audio and video quality to avoid frustration. The teacher and student join the video call and the lesson proceeds in the same way they would for an in-person lesson. Online music lessons require more focus and patience and are not suggested for very young students.

What questions should I ask a music teacher?

Here are some important questions you should ask a music teacher before you start taking lessons:

  • What is your teaching style?
  • What is your experience teaching music?
  • What are your rates?
  • How long are your lessons?
  • What is your availability?
  • What are your expectations for students?
  • Can you provide references from your current and past students?

How do I choose a music teacher?

Choosing a qualified music teacher is important for those wanting to learn or develop their musical skills. Find a teacher that fits your schedule, budget, and learning style by following these recommendations:

  • Look for a teacher with a degree in music or years of experience teaching your preferred instrument.
  • Make sure the teacher with a teaching style that suits you. For example, if you learn better with a more formal teacher that focuses on technique, don't choose a teacher that is more relaxed and focuses on creative, free-style playing.
  • Find a teacher that is affordable for your budget and has availability for lessons that fit your schedule.
  • Confirm that the teacher will help you reach your goals whether it is to learn a new instrument, read music, learn music theory, or just have fun.How do I choose a music teacher?

Fran Piazza is the perfect balance of supportive and strict. She coaches you starting from where you are to get you to where you need to be, always making sure to build a strong foundation along the way. She’s not my first flute teacher but I’d rank her as one of my best (and one of my favorites). JS

In my mid-50s I got the bug to learn guitar. Something I’d always wanted to do. I am so glad I found Miguel after having had mediocre (at best) experiences with other guitar teachers. Miguel has such a passion for, and skill with, the guitar. He is fluent in all genres: pop, rock, classical, country and, his forte, flamenco. As an instructor, he works great with all ages: kids, teens and adults. Miguel leads his students in the fundamentals of guitar using the style and genre of music of their primary interest. If you have the basics already, he can lead you to mid-level and on to very advanced techniques. All you have to do is listen to him play and you know you’re in great hands. His smile and passion is genuine. He is patient, kind, with great energy and very encouraging. He can see what you’re trying to do and provide immediate feedback on any corrections you need to make. Try one lesson with him and you’ll be hooked.

I’ve been with Leandro for almost 2 years now. Before I started with him, I struggled to get any notes out. I could keep pitch, but it didn’t feel good at all. In fact, it hurt. I was told I would never sing what I wanted to sing. Leandro proved to me that I could sing anything I wanted if I put in the work. He showed me what makes the voice work, and how to control it. If one exercise didn’t work, he had another one that did. He always seems to know how to solve each problem as they come. After working with Leandro, I’ve been able to perform live at my church and start recording my own music. My voice now feels amazing and free, he has increased my range dramatically, and he showed me what my voice can really do after putting in the work. I never would’ve gotten to where I am without him. I highly recommend this vocal coach. He is 10/10 🔥
