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

Kevin Q. says, "Ziang is an extraordinary piano teacher whose passion for music, the instrument, and music history is contagious. What sets him apart is his rare combination of deep musical knowledge and a clear, driven teaching style that inspires real progress. For years, I struggled to find a teacher who would truly hold me accountable—most would say “you’re fine” and move on. Ziang is different. He challenges me, expects excellence, and helps me achieve it. He’s enthusiastically supportive when I nail a new concept, and refreshingly honest when I need to step it up. That balance of encouragement and honesty has pushed me to a new level. If you’re serious about learning and want a teacher who cares deeply and invests in your growth, Ziang is the one." Read more

Normalyn N. says, "My daughter started taking ukulele lessons with Eric on Zoom during the spring of the pandemic. At 10-years-old, she was the youngest and only child in a beginners group ukulele class of adults. But she held her own and with Eric's coaching, she was able to learn to play fairly quickly. It was great for her to be able to learn an instrument and have a creative outlet during that tough time of quarantine. It also sparked the beginning of her love for music that has continued to grow now as she is in her teen years. As she got older, she transitioned from ukulele lessons to private guitar (both acoustic and electric) as well as piano lessons. Through the years she has learned so much from Eric. She went from a kid with no musical background to reading music fluently, studying music theory, playing four instruments, and performing guitar solos at school concerts. It's amazing how much she was able to learn through her weekly virtual lessons with Eric. He is an amazing music teacher and great with kids. He is patient, encouraging, and able to deliver instruction in a way that makes it easy and enjoyable to learn. I would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a music teacher for their young kids or teens." 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?

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.

As a student, I’ve learned so much from Ziang Xu—not only through a piano lesson with him, but also by attending his lecture and hearing his performances in various settings. He has a deep understanding of piano technique, and through studying with him, I gained a much clearer sense of how the fingers, wrist, and arm work together to create sound. His explanations are always thoughtful and precise. Hearing him perform and speak about music also gave me new perspectives; his playing is full of honesty, color, and intention. I’m always inspired by how deeply he thinks and feels through music.

Stephen is a first rate pianist and teacher. I like that he intersperses theory, technique & even fun facts with the usual fingering, rhythm & tempo. He's a stickler for getting each piece just right, but does so gradually with lots of positive encouragement. I even bring "special songs" to my lessons which he helps me with alongside the lesson books. I continually learn lots from him and music adds so much to our home.

Wendy is PHENOMENAL! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars! As a teacher, she is thoughtful and extremely organized. She is brilliant and truly helps improve your playing, giving a mix of both technical and musical development. I know her students have gone on to do amazing things and have gotten into top programs such as Juilliard pre-college. I am always impressed by the way she approaches her teaching, really taking the time to understand the issues and help find a solution that works for the student. If you have a chance to study with Wendy, you will not be disappointed. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Naomi is a wonderful cello teacher who I’ve been working with for the past six years. As an adult learning to play the cello, I appreciate her positive attitude, patience, and support. Naomi creates a warm and encouraging environment that has helped me grow in both confidence and skill. Her lessons are engaging and fun and consist of just the right blend of technique, musical expression, music theory, and ear training. I am pleased with my progress as a cellist and feel fortunate to have Naomi as my teacher. I highly recommend her for both adults and children wanting to learn to play the cello.

Eric is an amazing teacher! I wasn't sure how virtual lessons would work, but Eric has an amazing setup and instructions that make them wonderfully convenient and easy! Eric is fantastic at catering the lessons to your songs and interests while meeting you where you are at. He has helped me fall in love with playing the piano again!
