Graduated from SFCM, I teach piano and guitar and always give the first lesson for free to see if we are on the same page. I really only prefer to do 30min lessons if you come to me or have more than one student to make it an hour. I am in the Southeast Portland area and walk/bus everywhere, so I'm only accepting students near the Oak Grove-Happy Valley area.

I've been playing guitar for over 25 years. Studied theory, music composition and production and audio engineering in college. I've been giving lessons since I was 18 in college. At one point I had over 30 students ranging from elementary school age to my dad's age but mainly high school and college age. I'm not super strict but I will challenge you. I like to make lessons fun and interactive. Music should be fun. I will know if you didn't practice though and want students that really want to learn.

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?

Reviews for Tigard classical guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Tigard area.
Ruth Ann L.
Attila is exceptional. He is a master of the arts of playing music and teaching it. He teaches chords, notes of course, and the precise finger positions each lesson with continuous feedback. Attila teaches my son with ADHD. My son learns from him and is motivated to come back with what Attila has asked of him. We haven’t had great quality from anyone else in Portland until we met this fabulous maestro, Attila Csikos. Sign up, he can teach you and yours no matter if the student is just starting, intermediate or preparing to compete for a chair in band. My son is 8 and composed a short song about our dog. Attila ties life into playing music and enthusiastically played the song with him and critiqued the score. My son is getting an opportunity to learn from the best.
