Hello there! My name is Colin McGuire. I have been playing guitar for the past 25 years. One of the great things about my experience is that I have played all kinds of music over my career. From Jazz and Rock to acoustic singer songwriter styles, nothing is out of reach! I also had a career as a high school physics teacher for a decade so I bring a solid foundation in teaching strategies paired with my love of music. I emphasize learning through your favorite music and mixing in the skills within that framework. I have experience playing as a studio musician for rappers in NYC and fronting a rock band in Pittsburgh and most things in between.

Kenneth C. says, "Alex is in a class by himself both in terms of the quality of his teaching and his inspiration as a teacher. The three years of classical guitar lessons he gave to our son, Christian were a gift that has changed his life. His made huge improvements over the entire period. It all had to do with Alex's skill as a teacher and mentor and his passion for the guitar. The amazing thing was that the lessons were not that expensive and often lasted longer than the allotted time. Christian practiced longer and harder for Alex than for any teacher in his previous seven years of piano and guitar lessons. We did not know until about a year into the lessons that Alex studied at one of the premier music schools in the world, Gliere College in Kiev. We recommended him to two of our friends who also took lessons with him. They feel the same way about Alex as us. We give him our highest recommendation." Read more

Your Ukulele Lessons questions, answered

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

How much do ukulele lessons cost?

In-person ukulele lessons cost $30 to $60 per hour on average to learn with a private instructor. 1-hour group ukulele classes cost $18 to $30 per student. Some music studios offer new student specials and sell discounted multiple-session packages that reduce the cost per class.

  • Online ukulele lessons cost $10 to $30 per month for subscription-based websites offering access to pre-recorded classes. While pre-recorded lessons are not the same as a real-time instructor, some websites allow you to submit practice videos for teacher review and feedback.
  • Online ukulele lessons using live webcam video calling with a private instructor cost $25 to $60+ per hour, depending on the teacher's experience and reputation.

Keep in mind you will also need to purchase a ukulele to practice in between lessons. Most entry-level ukuleles cost $50 to $150, while higher-end models cost $200 to $500+.

Is ukulele easy to learn, and can I teach myself?

Learning to play the ukulele can be easy and fun! Ukuleles are small and only have 4 strings, making chords and scales easy to learn and play without putting too much stress on your arms, wrists, and fingers. Additionally, ukulele strings are made of soft nylon, making them easier on your fingertips than guitar strings.

You can teach yourself to play the ukulele using YouTube videos and other free resources, but this method lacks structure and may take longer to see progress than if you learn with an instructor. A professional ukulele teacher can guide you in the right direction and save you from developing unhelpful habits early on in your practice.

How long does it take to learn ukulele?

While every individual is different, in general, it takes about 3 to 6 months of consistent practice to learn and become comfortable playing the ukulele. Practicing many hours per day may yield quicker results. That said, you can likely learn enough basic chord shapes and strumming patterns to play many favorite pop songs in just a matter of weeks, or even days.

How do I choose the best ukulele lessons near me?

When searching for ukulele lessons near you, be sure to:

  • Choose a teacher or music studio that has been in business 5+ years and is licensed and insured.
  • Check out their profile and reviews from past students on Lessons.com and Google.
  • Look for a teacher who has a flexible schedule that matches your needs.
  • Discuss your specific goals and ask them how they will structure their lessons to help you meet them.

What questions should I ask when searching for ukulele lessons?

Finding a ukulele instructor whose personality and teaching style meshes well with your own can make a huge difference in your learning and progress. Asking the right questions can help you choose the best ukulele teacher for you:

  • How long have you been playing and teaching ukulele?
  • What qualifications do you have?
  • What styles of ukulele do you teach?
  • Do I need to buy a ukulele to take lessons?
  • How long will it take for me to learn to play the ukulele?
  • How often and how long should I practice?
  • What is your cancellation policy? 
  • Are you running any new student specials or discounts?

Brian M.
Brian is exactly what I was looking for in a teacher. He took a few lessons to dial in on my skill level and learning style and then feeds me great information and practice. He also send emails with summaries and training information. He’s great. Highly recommend Brian.

What you’re looking for is someone who cares more about the art form than its commodification, and this is the guy. Brian West isn’t just some guitar teacher, this is a Flamenco guitarist who loves what he does, Paco de Lucia style. Brian isn’t some real-life YouTube how-to guy who reenacts a script and forces a bovine smile to remind you how much he doesn’t care about you as much as he does the sum you just paid him. No, he cares alright. I specifically remember his patience and candor when I didn’t practice well or on time, or the subtle excitement in his eyes when I successfully learned one of his assigned classical pieces. Brian and his well-groomed beard don’t come to your house with a classical guitar just so that you learn Wonderwall, you’ve chosen someone who truly loves the intangible feelings and sensations of playing with an emphasis on technique; you will get good. Don’t worry though, you will easily imbibe his advice. He’s particularly good at explaining small details even to the most novice ear. The only thing standing between you and getting proficient within a few months is you. Otherwise, Brian will be right there watching on your path to appreciating the guitar.

Wonderful guitarist, composer and teacher ! The best in the area, his performances are amazing in any kind of music and at any event, either private parties or concert, I've seen him life may times.
