Dylan J. says, "What I love about Ms. Sorrell is that she always pushes you, not beyond your limits, but to your fullest capacity, even when you don’t know what that is for yourself. She understands the emotional strength and energy one must have to overcome mental obstacles, and let yourself go in the world of music and singing, and uses her intelligence to sympathize with you when you occasionally stumble, AND raise you back up when you fall. I have always felt that she has seen much more in me than I see in myself, and her patient guidance has allowed me to see that version of myself inside me. I’m now more determined than ever to become that person. And this person doesn’t just have great vocal skills, he also has great mental, and emotional management skills. Because not only does Ms. Sorrell teach vocal skills, but she also coaches you to be mentally strong when you feel like giving up, or when you don’t feel like you have the potential to be that talented person you want to be. She has been nothing short of an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would 100% recommend others to work with her, and discover the wonderful gems that are inside them!" Read more

Your Music Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

I’ve been taking online voice coaching lessons with Jennie, and I can confidently say it has been an amazing experience. Jennie’s teaching style is both encouraging and insightful, making each lesson enjoyable and productive. She’s incredibly patient and takes the time to tailor each session to my specific needs, helping me build my vocal skills at my own pace. Her feedback is always constructive, and I can feel noticeable improvements in my voice after just a few lessons. Jennie is not only a fantastic coach but also a great motivator who genuinely cares about her students' progress. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their voice, whether you're a beginner or more advanced!

Stephen is a first rate pianist and teacher. I like that he intersperses theory, technique & even fun facts with the usual fingering, rhythm & tempo. He's a stickler for getting each piece just right, but does so gradually with lots of positive encouragement. I even bring "special songs" to my lessons which he helps me with alongside the lesson books. I continually learn lots from him and music adds so much to our home.

Been working with Frankie for a bit more than a year now and I have never worked with another piano teacher that was so responsive and willing to structure lessons based on my individual music goals. I do music production and songwriting so Frankie has helped me take my understanding of music theory and apply it to my work and practices. He designs specific exercises to work through between lessons so that I can continue my studies when I have time and then review when I'm back in a lessons. Would recommend to anybody, beginner or advanced. Frankie is a great paino teacher who truly knows what he is talking about.

Wendy is PHENOMENAL! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! As a teacher, she is thoughtful and extremely organized. She is brilliant and truly helps improve your playing, giving a mix of both technical and musical development. I know her students have gone on to do amazing things and have gotten into top programs such as Juilliard pre-college. I am always impressed by the way she approaches her teaching, really taking the time to understand the issues and help find a solution that works for the student. If you have a chance to study with Wendy, you will not be disappointed. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I’ve been working with Ms. Sorrell for about two months now. In that time, I’ve grown exponentially as a singer, performer, and person. From my very first introductory phone call with Ms. Sorrell (which wasn’t even a lesson!), I received a mini-lesson in itself about believing in myself. Before I started with Ms. Sorrell, I’d been training myself in how for about 15 months prior. In that time, I had managed to develop vocal techniques like healthy belting, mixing, and vibrato, but within four weeks of working with Ms. Sorrell, those techniques grew faster than I ever expected. When I practice, I’m hitting super high notes (I’m a baritone/tenor and comfortably hitting and sustaining F#4’s, G4’s and G#4’s in a mixed and strong tone). After the vowel exercises Ms. Sorrell gave me, my vibrato is coming through stronger, more consistent, and more beautiful than ever, and my breath support has been getting so much better as well. We usually spend about 30-40 minutes on exercises and then a bit of time on songs as well. In terms of Ms. Sorrell, she’s an excellent singer. I believe her to be (and I believe her to have said that she is) a soprano, but it’s so cool when I’m singing an exercise that’s low in my (male) range and she just casually goes and hits the exact note I’m struggling with in my octave. Most professional broadway/pop stars couldn’t do that. Ms. Sorrell is kind but won’t settle for less than she knows you can do - in any exercise that she feels isn’t executed perfectly, she makes sure to point out what you did well, and then kindly gives feedback on how to improve, and she never gets mad if you struggle. She always gives good visual and auditory feedback during when you’re singing an exercise as well (in the way of head nods, shakes, thumbs-up’s, and okay signs). If you do an exercise well enough, you might even get applause! I can’t recommend Ms. Sorrell enough, and I sincerely hope that you look into lessons with her.
