Doug T. says, "My wife and I were looking for a hobby we could both do together now that our children are all out on their own. I started talking about learning how to play the guitar and she had always thought it would be a fun hobby too. We purchased an acoustic for her and an electric for me. We started playing using different apps and watching several YouTube videos. My wife attended a free ladies night at Guitar Center where Daniel Reyes Llinas led the workshop. As a gift at Christmas we bought each other guitar lessons and chose Daniel as our instructor. In four weekends of 30 minute lessons each we both improved. I had developed some bad habits from trying to learn on my own and Daniel was excellent at teaching me how to correct my style. He gave us several practice patterns to help us build better coordination for both hands. By the fourth lesson we were able to play part of a song with him. We both really enjoy Daniel’s teaching methods and highly recommend him. " Read more

Shannon W. says, "Celeste has been an awesome teacher! I actually first contacted her for my son, but I was getting a little ahead of myself. My son is not even 2! :) So she encouraged me to take lessons as it would be great for when my son is finally old enough. I'm so glad I signed up. I've been wanting to take lessons for a long time anyway. She's super patient and goes at my pace, and really funny! :) I always walk away feeling like I've progressed and have clear instructions on what I need to work on. I really recommend her!"

Your classical guitar questions, answered

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

How much do classical guitar lessons cost near me?

Most classical guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per session for durations of 30 to 60 minutes. One-on-one lessons typically cost between $45 and $70 per hour, whereas group sessions are a more affordable option at $25 to $35 per class.

For those who prefer a digital classroom, online lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour. Monthly ongoing instruction costs $170 to $315 with a prepaid discount.

Why should I take classical guitar lessons?

You should take classical guitar lessons if you have an acoustic guitar and want to learn how to play classical concertos or Spanish-style music with fingerpicking.

Classical guitar lessons teach you how to:

  • Use nylon-string guitars and strum with the fingers instead of a pick
  • Develop your fingers to focus on complex fingerpicking techniques
  • Understand classical music theory and sight-reading

At what age should I start classical guitar lessons?

Children generally begin their classical guitar journey between the ages of 6 to 10, or as soon as they can hold the instrument well with enough hand strength to press the strings. Adults of all ages can master the instrument with the correct guidance and consistent practice.

How many classical guitar lessons do I need?

The number of weekly classical guitar lessons you need will depend on your personal goals and dedication to practice. A beginner might grasp a simple song within 2 to 6 months, but acquiring proficiency like a professional requires 4 to 10 years on average.

How do I find the best classical guitar lessons near me?

You can find proficient classical guitar tutors nearby by looking at the listings here on the Lessons platform. Sometimes teachers ara available through local music stores too.

Before hiring your tutor, always:

  • Obtain quotes from a minimum of 3 teachers and clarify what they teach.
  • Review feedback about them on Google and the Lessons site.
  • Request a reference list of their past students.
  • Ask fellow parents about their children's experiences with the tutor.
  • Secure a written agreement and schedule prior to the first session.
  • Make small initial payments to gauge the tutor's compatibility before committing to a full month.

What questions do I ask when choosing a classical guitar teacher?

Ask these pertinent questions to help you pick a classical guitar teacher:

  • Did you study music formally, and what qualifications do you have?
  • How many years have you been teaching classical guitar?
  • Could I have a trial lesson to see if your teaching method works for me?
  • What is the typical age range of your students?
  • Which model of acoustic guitar should I purchase?
  • Will you assign homework, and how much practice is required?
  • What type of strings are best for beginners?
  • Which books should I buy for learning classical guitar?
  • Can you accommodate different learning styles?
  • What essentials should I bring to class, and how long is each session?
  • Can I have a written copy of our class schedule?
  • What is your policy for missed classes?
  • Am I allowed to suggest songs that I would like to learn?

Alf is a great teacher and a nice guy. He has a very professional teaching setup with videos and customized lessons. He's helped me get back my excitement for playing guitar and I've already learned more music theory than I expected to learn. Very happy with these lessons!

Daniel is an awesome guitar teacher who knows the instrument very well and has tons of experience performing! He is great with kids and knows how to tailor lessons to your specific needs. He comes to our house and my son is always super excited for his lessons. I would definitely recommend lessons from Daniel before he gets famous.

I want to share our experience with my Son's piano teacher. Kyle Shipp has been my 15 year old Son's piano teacher for 5 plus years. Kyle has truly been amazing. My Son looks forward to his piano lessons and I believe a huge part of this is Kyle and his teaching style, The connection he has with his students i feel is amazing. Kyle may roll his eyes however, he has not only been a piano teacher to Ethan...I feel he has been a mentor and a person Ethan truly connects with and I see this as a huge benefit. He has done a stellar job with teaching Ethan and bringing my Son along further than I ever anticipated. I know Ethan would agree when I say we are the lucky ones in finding an amazing musician, teacher and mentor in Kyle His communication with myself and Ethan is an A+.... If you are looking for a qualified teacher, look no further. Kyle truly is a talented teacher and his passion and compassion shine. Thanks Kyle for sticking with Ethan and allowing him to grow into a young adult and teaching him not only piano but about life. Trina
