Edwin F. says, "Studying with Jeremy has been an incredible experience that positively changed my relationship with music. He knew a lot about every genre of playing and shared excitement about what is special in each style. And his approach was both very direct and exploratory at the same time. He also was able to push my comfort zone little by little in a healthy way. I never thought I could write my own music as early on as I now have! Studying with him, I have saved a lot of frustration and gained a lot of excitement about what is possible." Read more

John G. says, "I have been taking piano lessons from Stephan for approximately a year, and when I began taking piano lessons with Stephan, I had no piano experience. As an adult who has begun my musical journey late in life with work, life, family, and other obligations the piano has not been easy for me to learn and sometimes the progress is slow; however, with Stephan’s patience and guidance I have been able to learn in a positive and encouraging manner. Based on my lack of musical background and experience, Stephan has adjusted our lessons to a level of instruction that enables me to meet my goals. A positive thing I like about Stephan is he doesn't make you feel bad about your mistakes, and he's there to help you. Stephan is a knowledgeable and energetic teacher who conveys good techniques and at the same time promotes a lifelong appreciation of music. I would certainly recommend him to anyone who has always wanted to learn piano but never got around to it like myself. As is said, “better late than never.” I am looking forward to and enjoying every lesson as my journey continues in my musical adventure." Read more

Your Music Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

Music lessons for instruments like guitar, piano, drums, or string instruments cost between $30 to $50 for a 30-minute lesson and $65 to $100 for a 60-minute lesson. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Kevin began teaching our granddaughter in January 2015. She loves piano...and Kevin's instruction has developed that passion! Not only is he highly skilled in teaching her about music theory, and the skills for playing the piano - but he is kind, patient and very, very encouraging! He is also her awesome voice teacher! We couldn't be happier! Thank you, Kevin!
