Jonathan Price Guitar Lessons

I like to demonstrate the styles and songs I use to teach beginners in order to get a feel for what they are interested in. I believe it's important to enjoy the material you start learning.  It is important to learn to be musical from the beginning, not just going through the motions. 

I have played guitar, bass, piano, and have been singing for 30 years.  I have performed with 100's of bands and have recording experience. I teach at a midtown guitar school on 38th street in Manhattan.  I have a studio space available in midtown and Sunnyside Queens.

I also teach using a music software program to help students record and produce their own songs. 

I charge $60 for a 1 hour lesson.

I started learning to play music at the age of 8 and by high school had determined that it was very fulfilling for me to help and colloborate with friends who were beginning to play music and forming bands. 

I have taught absolute beginners, intermediate players, and also have helped some seasoned professionals on a few occasions as well. 

I play in a weekend band that plays around the NY tri-state area.  Last month Danny Devito was in attendance at one of the events and I got to meet him!

I would advise that the student should be able to determine if they are benefiting from their new instructor after at least 2 or 3 lessons.  This should be enough time to get a feeling if the teacher and student are a good match.

I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all answer here, but it helps if the student can talk a little bit about why they have decided to begin taking music lessons.
