Larry L. says, "George is an amazing musician and a great guy. I bought some guitars as artwork in my house because I’ve always thought they were cool. The only problem was I didn’t know how to play them at all like 0 and it certainly was obviously that I have no natural ability. I know lots of friends that play at really high levels but I knew hanging around them I would never learn anything because it would turn into a social event. I knew I needed a teacher, a real teacher. I found George on this site and luckily he lives only minutes away. From day one he was sure that I learn something at every lesson. Difficult task as I’m not a good student and my attention span is pathetic. If I’m not good at something right away I loose interest. George is so patient and supportive that I won’t give up. I only have time for one lesson a week sometimes less due to my job but lessons with George are one of the few things I look forward to going to. Thanks " Read more

I am a classically trained guitarist, that also loves many other genres of music from pop to blues to rock. Whether you are looking to prepare for nyssma or college, or just want to learn a few chords and play some tunes, I can help make that process as easy and painless as possible. Seeing the progress my students make gives me a great sense of pride. I especially enjoy working with younger students. As a father of 2, seeing the excitement that children get when discovering music for the first time gives me a truly awesome feeling....

I have been playing fingerstyle guitar for 7 years and recently graduated with a degree in music from Roger Williams University. I can help you turn the acoustic guitar into a solo instrument playing the bass line, chords, drums, and melody all at once without editing or a loop pedal.

Your classical guitar questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

Reviews for Waterbury classical guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Waterbury area.
Anthony R.
New to Lessons.com. I initially contacted a different instructor and was surprised when many other instructors contacted me instead. Phil, however, was the only one that actually addressed what I was looking for in particular in a teacher and had the required know-how to teach it. All the others were very impersonal except for one who was honest and said he was also interested in what I am interested in. The lesson itself was insightful just through getting to know one another as people and players. I caught many things he was doing right off the bat and asked to rewind and slow it a bit. It helps when you know what you’re after in material when you’re working with a pro such as Phil who can pull any rabbit he wishes out of his magic hat. Phil can show you fundamentals to intricacies; hacks and efficiencies. I’ve already started on the road to creating the sound I have in my head. Phil can help you find that too.

He breaks down the music and techniques of how to create the sounds I want from my guitar. He can also listen to a piece of music I want to learn and can know right then what notes/chords are being played. I’m always amazed at how easy he makes it look. I’m very lucky to have found such a great musician to be my teacher.

Ryan is a natural musician, teacher and all-around kind soul. His calm demeanor coupled with his love of learning and teaching music both make him an impeccable choice for aspiring musicians of all levels and interests looking to sharpen their skills. Ryan always makes his students feel comfortable which allows them to bring their whole selves to the practice/jam which ultimately allows them to achieve more. Ryan is also an encyclopedia of music history of all genres, so just talking about music with him is fun and educational. Ryan is an outstanding choice for a local music teacher who will take you to the next level!

I came to guitar late. I had one never got around to learning how to play it. We had a flood in our basement and I came home to it floating right past me. Fast forward, my girlfriend got me an electric and a few lessons with Chris Merola. 2 years on, still going. I didn’t know a thing, now I play, might even get a band together!?
