Madison G. says, "I so enjoy my weekly lesson with Margot! My guitar lesson is my checkpoint for the week, tbh. Margot really cares about my progress and works hard to make sure I understand the content of that week's lesson. She is truly one of the best teachers I've ever had and she consistently goes above and beyond. The way she teaches and frames the material is really unique. I'm not just learning chords. I'm finally getting an understanding of the actual DNA of the chords I've been playing since the beginning. All that to say - Margot is awesome and I am extremely excited about the progress I'm making!!" Read more

Reese P. says, "Erik was my guitar teacher growing up and through high school and taught music in such a fun and effective way. I remember he would always start the lessons off by asking what I wanted to learn and would somehow find ways to connect important elements of theory into whatever I wanted to learn that day. I am about to graduate Berklee College of Music and would have never even gotten in if it weren't for Erik! Absolutely the best guitar teacher out there." Read more

Hey there! My name's Jason and I'm here to teach you about guitar and music. I love teaching people of all ages, and 5 years of giving guitar lessons has taught me that everyone learns through different methods and at different paces. As someone who's been both self taught on the guitar, and had a handful of teachers over the past 9 years, I can bring a wide variety of personal and learned insights from my time with the guitar and my various students. I'm a recent college graduate, with a minor in jazz studies and am currently a gigging musician in Nashville. I play both acoustic and electric guitar, sing, dabble in piano and love rock, blues

How much do classical guitar lessons cost near me?

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?

I am an older middle-aged individual who recently took an interest in wanting to learn how to play a guitar. Attempting to learn on my own at my age is very limiting. However, finding an instructor who understands age as it relates to effective learning is also very challenging. Fortunately I was referred to Erik. He not only has decades of guitar playing and teaching experience, but he understands how to assess a student's learning ability and subsequently build a teaching methodology geared for that student. In other words, he uses a "student first" approach: listen to and understand what the student's particular guitar interests and abilities are. Then he'll use his own skills and knowledge to "shape" the student's guitar skills based on what the student is most interested in. Erik is very patient and has a great sense of humor. Both qualities are a must for my limited skill level. He provides the appropriate amount of the music theory to help me better understand the music that I'm attempting to play. To sum it up, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or more advanced, Erik can work with you to refine your guitar playing skills. At the very least, give him a call to discuss your particular guitar playing situation. -Steve

I appreciated their versatility, guiding me through various genres and enhancing my overall musical understanding. Communication was open and constructive, making the learning process collaborative and rewarding. I highly recommend TML to anyone seeking an exceptional guitar instructor.

I knew absolutely nothing about guitar when I first found Cole. I had just bought a guitar on impulse and did not know a single chord. Cole has been super patient with me. Not once have I felt dumb, or gotten the vibe of frustration or boredom from him. I would definitely recommend Cole, no matter your experience level.

I appreciate Tony's skill level, patience and learning style. Tony pours into you with all of his knowledge and isn't just there for the paycheck. He's there to help you become a guitarist. I recommend Tony often due to these reasons.

It is always a relief to find the things I want to do within a reasonable distance from my home, and one of the several locations for lessons with Mr Weinberg is only 15 minutes away. He is a wonderful musician and is very intuitive on which aspects I need more clear instruction on, and which come more easily for me. This may sound like an obvious part of teaching, but it is not a given with all music instructors. Having that extra attention has gotten me off to a very solid start with no time wasted during the lessons. I'm thankful to have found Mr Weinberg, he is a gem in the music world. Give him a try, I promise you will be pleased with the lessons, and with the outcome.

Joel is an amazing guitar instructor. After the first lesson, he will determine your skill level. Once he learns your music goals, he will craft an instructional program to meet those goals which is challenging enough to keep you interested, but within your skill set to not discourage. Joel is by far the best instructor I have ever had.
