Casey D. says, "We are so thankful for Miss Nicolle giving our 7 year old daughter the opportunity to learn to play violin in the comfort of our home! Our family is in a very demanding season so the online lessons has made it possible and sustainable for us. Miss Nicolle was very helpful during the process of starting as we were very new to this about 6 months ago. She went above and beyond helping us locate a string shop to rent the violin from which was super helpful. It has been easier than I imagined to help our daughter with her lessons. The instruction videos are easy to follow and very motivating for kids. She is very good at teaching the students but also guiding/ teaching parents how to better help as parents are most likely new to this like me. Miss Nicolle is very encouraging and energizing in both the videos and in her lessons. Often includes games in lessons which is very engaging for the kids. She is supportive and understanding during moments of frustration and she continues to instill confidence and courage in our daughter which has been fun to see. Miss Nicolle pushes just enough to provide challenge and instill growth in our daughter each week. You can tell she has lots of experience working with kids because she is very good at it even in challenging situations. :) We look forward to the remainder of our daughter’s violin journey. Highly recommend you trusting Miss Nicolle with your ( or your child’s) violin journey." Read more

I have been teaching piano and theory for nearly 25 years. The first lessons I gave were in Hobart, Tasmania Australia as adjunct faculty to the Tasmanian Conservatorium of Music. This was during my final year in my under graduate degree in piano performance. Upon taking residence at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music to complete my Master's in performance, I took on new students as a private instructor. I developed greatly as a piano instructor and developed a passion for teaching. Watching and listening to students as their techniques grow and expand is a marvelous thing. My instructors in piano taught in the great traditions of their te...

Your Music Lessons questions, answered

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

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?

She knows exactly what I am trying to accomplish and is giving me the tools to achieve my goals.
Nuance Vocal Studio
Laura O.
I’m 48 years old and was a self-taught musician who dabbled in composition, but I didn’t know how to read or write music and had no knowledge of theory. I’ve been studying piano with Robin for a little over a year and have learned a tremendous amount. When I went to my first lesson, I couldn’t read a single note on the piano. Now, I’m at an early intermediate level, studying both classical music and jazz with her. I’m so proud of my progress and excited to see how far I’ll go in the next year. Robin is truly the best teacher.

My 10-year-old has been having violin lessons with Young for almost 2 years now, and we absolutely adore her! She is punctual, passionate, and responsible, but most importantly, she is great at teaching. Young challenges her students when they are performing well, and she is very kind and precise in her instruction. While she is extremely kind, she also pays close attention to technique. My child thoroughly enjoys playing the violin and takes great pride in maintaining good technique taught by Ms. Young.

Working with Nicolle exceeds beyond expectations coming from a beginner of the violin. Nicolle makes learning a new instrument less intimating, fun, and accessible. Also, her program gives you everything you need; the online do it yourself pace, and the once a week virtual group sessions with her; you get the best of both worlds. She gives you every tool you need to learn and changes your whole view about learning an instrument. You not only learn how to play the instrument, but tips and tricks on how to stay motivated, she personally checks in on your progress, and gives advice to tailor the learning for the individual. Its such a personal experience. I couldn't recommend her enough.

Savanna brings a lot of enthusiasm and energy to her violin lessons. Helps my son be excited about learning and practicing. She is patient and kind and very knowledgeable. I love how she plays with him and helps him hear what it should sound like in a good way of being an example and also exciting for him to be able to progress.

Michaela is an excellent teacher and was professionally trained. She knows so many different types of drum patterns and is always willing to help. I also appreciate that she is still drumming. She's part of a jazz band and their concerts are sweet. Highly recommend if you want to be the best drummer you can be!
