Lynn M. says, "Jonny has been my piano teacher for the past two years. I am a 75+ year “young” adult. Despite having many years of classical piano training in my youth, I lacked the understanding/knowledge of the “nuts and bolts” of music. Most recently, my lessons have focused on jazz piano and as I’ve said many times, it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever pursued but the best thing for brain stimulation!! Through it all, Jonny has been patient, kind, knowledgeable, inspirational, and fun. I have learned so much and am forever grateful to him for sharing his talent and love of music with me. I would heartily recommend Jonny as a piano teacher for any age and for any musical genre. He is the best!" Read more

Justin H. says, "Before working with Mike I would pick up my guitar occasionally, and put it down quickly, with no direction of learning. After the first lesson with Mike I was doing basic chord strumming, and within only a few weeks I was playing rhythm for some of my favorite songs. In the nearly 2 years that I took lessons with him I learned a lot and always looked forward to learning another song." Read more

Devon J. says, "My daughter and I have been working with Ben for well over a year now, learning guitar, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Ben has a wealth of knowledge and experience, which he has a real passion to share with us. This goes a long way towards feeling truly invested in the learning process, especially in the beginning, where everything is new and difficult. He offers motivation for not only me, but more importantly for my 11-year-old daughter, who has confidence issues at times. His patience during the sessions where she is less than attentive is sincerely impressive. Ben will adjust his lessons on the fly, if needed, to accommodate our needs. If there is a song that I'm interested in learning, he'll switch to that, quickly figure out what it takes to play it, and jump right into teaching us the song. He'll even make adjustments to the song to fit my experience level, allowing me to play a song, even if I may not be at the technical level that the song actually requires. He is also extremely flexible on the days where we might need to shift our schedule or even cancel. Since we started taking lessons from Ben, we've gone from complete novices, to being able to muddle through a song, to actually being able to play over a dozen songs completely, on our own. If you are looking to take lessons that will motivate you to really enjoy the process of learning guitar, I highly recommend him as your instructor." 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?

He can create customized sheet music to adapt to the playing level of the student. He will teach you that it’s more than just memorizing or playing the notes. I like how he understands what songs would be a good fit for me to play. Best music teacher I’ve ever had!

Mr. Jonny has an incredible passion for music, is very motivating and patient with my 8 year old son. I can see and hear the progress after every lesson. My little man has found love for piano, jazz, other music styles and is trying to writ his own songs now. All thanks to the Evergreen School of Music.

Tim is a reliable, positive, and realistic cello instructor for my son. My son switched to Tim this past Fall after working with a different instructor for several years. My son, who has ADHD struggles, also switched instruments at the same time. With these music instruction changes, my son is finding a lot of success and joy. Thanks, Tim!

I had always wanted to learn piano and I wanted to have something that my kids and I could learn together. I needed someone who was going to be good with both adults and kids and Rachel fit that perfectly. Rachel helped me by being so patient and encouraging. She made the learning process really fun but always challenged us to try to push ourselves in our learning. Her encouragement helped us want to practice in between lessons and we looked forward to her visits. She helped grow our love of learning music instead of making it feel like a chore. We were always excited to learn new songs and new lessons. My kids were very comfortable learning from Rachel. When they were struggling or made mistakes, her encouragement helped them to push through and make great improvements. I would highly recommend Rachel as a piano instructor to people who want someone to foster an enjoyment of music and instill artistry in their lives. ~ Diana Milligan

I've been taking lessons with Mike for a few years now and I'm very happy with the progress I've made. Mike is a great teacher, he's very knowledgeable and talented, and he does a really good job of incorporating my questions and interest into our lessons. He gives me good constructive feedback and always has good suggestions on how to improve. Mike has a lot of real world experience playing in bands and recording and producing music which he also works into our lessons and I find that to be incredibly valuable as well. If you're looking for a guitar teacher I would highly recommend Mike.

My kids and I all took lessons from Abby Wheatley. I love how she tailored our instruction specifically to each person's level and their goals. She made it fun, while also endeavoring to develop well-rounded, capable musicians. I haven't stopped playing since we started!
