Your Guitar Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much do guitar lessons cost near me?

Guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per lesson, depending on if they last 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. If it's a one-on-one lesson, it'll cost around $45 to $70 hourly. Learning guitar in a group is cheaper at $25 to $35 per session.

If you're taking lessons every month, it adds up to $170 to $315 with the typical prepaid discount.

Are guitar lessons worth it?

Guitar lessons are worth it since only a professional teacher giving you live feedback can guide you to learn faster. A good instructor helps you understand your mistakes and prevents you from developing bad habits.

Learning guitar by yourself takes a lot longer and won't prepare you as well to play in public.

At what age should I start guitar lessons?

Children can start guitar lessons from the ages of 6 to 10, or when they can comfortably hold the guitar and press the strings. Adults can start guitar lessons at any age, provided they practice regularly and patiently.

How many guitar lessons do I need?

The number of guitar lessons you need varies according to your goal and your practice routine. For many people, it typically takes about 2 to 6 months to play a simple tune. Mastering the guitar like a professional can take anywhere from 4 to 10 years.

What do you learn in guitar lessons?

In most guitar lessons, you can expect to learn:

  • How to correctly position your fingers to play chords
  • How to tune your guitar
  • How to play various scales
  • New techniques for plucking and strumming
  • How to read sheet music.

Are online guitar lessons good?

Online guitar lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour and are good for getting personal instruction from skilled teachers worldwide. Take advantage of flexible scheduling and immediate feedback while learning new guitar-playing styles. Plus, you can easily record lessons to review their advice later.

How do I find the best guitar lessons near me?

In order to find the best guitar lessons for you, look through nearby teachers listed here on the Lessons website. You can also ask for teachers at local music stores or community colleges.

Before you hire a guitar teacher, make sure to:

  • Check out prices from at least 3 different teachers.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask for a list of their current or previous students that you can talk to.
  • Talk to other parents about the teacher's reputation with their children.
  • Make sure you get a written agreement and schedule before your first lesson.
  • Avoid making a big payment upfront for a month of lessons until you're comfortable with the teacher.

What questions do I ask when choosing a guitar teacher?

To find the right guitar teacher, you can ask them these questions:

  • What kind of music degree do you have?
  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching guitar?
  • Can I have a free trial lesson to see if your teaching style helps me?
  • What is the average age of your students?
  • Will you assign me finger exercises as homework?
  • How often should I practice between lessons?
  • What textbooks do I need, and where can I buy used ones?
  • How many guitar-playing styles are you an expert in?
  • Can you modify your teaching style to suit my learning abilities?
  • What should I bring to our lessons, and how long is each one?
  • Can I get a copy of our schedule, agreement, and payment terms?
  • What is your policy if I have to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I choose some of my favorite songs to learn on the guitar?

My eight year old son has never been so enthusiastic about music lessons as he is about these. The instructor is very knowledgeable and can relate very well young people. So far we have been very satasfied with Stage Volume.

I am an amateur classical and flamenco guitarist. I have been at this off and on since 1958. I was a student of Edward Freeman in Dallas, Texas. He was the only classically trained guitar teacher in North Texas from the early 1950s through the late 1960s. Interest in the classical guitar in the Dallas area picked up during the mid 1960s. Others learned and some learned to teach. Today, a half of a century later, there are numerous individuals around who claim to teach classical guitar. Some just claim, and some actually know what they're doing. John Rimmer is one who really does know how to teach classical guitar. He is a professional engineer, certified Texas secondary school teacher, and accomplished classical guitarist of about three decades experience. He has been teaching students of all ages classical guitar for two or more decades now. He taught me a great deal about the fine points of technique and practice. Through my association with Mr. Rimmer I have undertaken learning to play a number of pieces I never dreamt even trying to read through in earlier years. These include pieces from Gaspar Sanz's 1674 Suite Espanola. I have loved these wonderful baroque pieces all my life, but never thought I would ever be able to play them. Mr. Rimmer's encouragement and pedagogy made the difference. He can teach a seventy plus year old retiree like me. He can teach a youngster with excellent results. I recommend him heartily.
