Aaron L. says, "Lessons with Jared were exactly what I needed. I'm in my early 30s, and when I first sought violin lessons early in the pandemic, it had been a dozen years since I had played regularly in an orchestra and a couple more since I had regularly taken lessons. I thought that, with more discipline and maturity and some personal experience as a teacher, I was ready for an exacting, perfectionist approach and methodical repetition of scales and etudes, and a big emphasis on musical theory. I was surprised when we started simple and moved quickly through a variety of pieces. I had been used to spending months on certain pieces, but Jared wasn't nitpicking, and we played together a lot. But what I soon realized is that this is really what I needed. I found my love for my instrument was soon restored, and that I was choosing to practice as an outlet during the pandemic. I was practicing more than ever, and enjoying it. And as we moved onto new pieces, Jared gradually introduced more difficult music with new technical challenges, including scales and etudes. He mixed in folk and popular music as well, and was open to my suggestions of pieces to play. I can see and hear that my range and skills have grown noticeably: I am now more comfortable in second position, I'm playing in more challenging keys, my ear has improved. Importantly, I'm playing my violin better than I ever was, and ready to invest in upgrades to my instrument. Jared is a patient teacher and a kind person, and is accommodating with scheduling for his adult students as well as with online and safe, socially distanced lessons. I also observed a little of him working with kids, and it is clear that he's great with young students. If you're an adult and are looking to revive your love for your instrument and make real strides, I highly recommend Jared for your violin lessons." Read more

Ray H. says, "I had always wanted to learn piano and I wanted to have something that my kids and I could learn together. I needed someone who was going to be good with both adults and kids and Rachel fit that perfectly. Rachel helped me by being so patient and encouraging. She made the learning process really fun but always challenged us to try to push ourselves in our learning. Her encouragement helped us want to practice in between lessons and we looked forward to her visits. She helped grow our love of learning music instead of making it feel like a chore. We were always excited to learn new songs and new lessons. My kids were very comfortable learning from Rachel. When they were struggling or made mistakes, her encouragement helped them to push through and make great improvements. I would highly recommend Rachel as a piano instructor to people who want someone to foster an enjoyment of music and instill artistry in their lives. ~ Diana Milligan" Read more

I have been teaching for more years than I like to count!! I have certifications through Music Teachers National Association, and through the Well-Prepared Pianist. I teach all ages, from about 4 years old through adult. My students receive very broad training in technique and musicianship. I teach to the "four playing partners": the eyes, the ears, the hands and the mind. Each student needs a balance of technical training, theory work and pieces that they enjoy playing. That balance is different for each student and must take into account their age, their developmental level and their ability to focus. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Pia...

Howdy! My courses are built on the belief that no learning program is one size fits all. All clients will have a first time consult in which we discuss your goals before a dynamic curriculum is tailored to your needs. I also believe that no journey is linear and our greater understanding will inspire new goals and pathways. I have over 15 years of professional experience as a performing guitar player, worked on my own developing up and coming artists for the past 6 years to hone my skills in songwriting, music production, and audio engineering. My approach as a teacher that sets me apart is to offer perspective, inspiration, and love to guid

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?
