My name is Jon Neuberger. I am in my mid 30s and have been playing guitar and singing since the age of 13. I have gotten my education in music through private lessons. Advancing my education at both Milwaukee Area Technical College (Associates Degree in Music Occupations) and Carroll University (Bachelors Degree in Music Business). I do not own a music studio. However, I offer my private guitar lessons where my students live. Is there a better environment learning music other than the comfort of their own home? My teaching dates back to my early career as a gigging musician. If there were to be a rehearsal before a show, I would sh

John M. says, "Working with Annie is absolutely life-changing, and FUN. From our very first conversation to every single lesson, her passion for music and teaching shines through. She’s incredibly generous with her knowledge and truly invests in helping me become the best singer I can be—it’s unlike anything I’ve experienced before. She helps me develop better warmup techniques for recording, strengthen my mix voice, and give me the confidence to perform live without fear of vocal strain. But what truly sets Annie apart is her energy and focus on mindset. Yes, she works on technique, gives you exercises, and walks you through the theory and anatomy. But her focus on mindset—helping me build confidence, resilience, and a positive approach—is what has made a monumental impact on my singing. Thank you, Annie! For anyone looking for a top notch vocal coach, I would highly recommend Annie B!" Read more

Sarah W. says, "Nancy is so kind and welcoming. We've been going to her for piano lessons with our 3 kids since 2010 when our oldest was 6. He's now 14 and going strong with a love of music that has expanded to include playing the trombone (he was even in the UWM Honors band in middle school!) All three kids still play and love it, in huge part because of Nancy inspiring their love of music and making it a fun, low stress endeavor. Not once in all this time have they ever even considered stopping lessons or even complained about going. They readily practice, as well. I really can't say enough good things about Nancy's teaching. She individualizes her approach and music selections to match not only their developmental level, but their musical interests and personalities, as well. I feel so blessed to have had her as such a consistently positive influence on our kids' childhood." Read more

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?

If you are lucky enough to secure a time for lessons with Matt, you will not regret it! He is encouraging and so much fun for youngsters, teens and seniors like me! He finds songs that are of interest to each age group which makes practicing something you actually enjoy. How great it is to then see him at a gig and know he shared a little of his talent with you! I will be forever grateful for the 7 years I enjoyed learning from Matt!

My granddaughters started with Mr Carl at ages 4 and 6 and we are really happy with their progress. He has infinite patience, provides clear instruction, is encouraging and sensitive to their individual learning styles. He has a knack for teaching children that they really respond to. The girls are progressing nicely and they love going.

Mr. Terrien teaches while playing along with his student in harmony or melody, not just echoing the student's part, which provides the student with the very real pleasure of 'jamming' as a real musician through the majority of the sessions. He interweaves high level music theory into lessons where the knowledge logically supports technique growth, making it feel less like a homework task and more like unlocking understanding. In the year my son has played and performed with Mr. Terrien, his interest in playing has deepened from, "this is kind of interesting" to "this is part of who I am and what I do", and that growth of passion is what parents hope for their child as they pursue a new skill.

I took guitar lessons for many years before, but when you walk into Guitar For Life Studio, you know you are in the right place. Full of guitar magazines, literature, and bios of your favorite artists. Danny takes the time to listen to his students to find out what motivates them to learn the instrument. He then asks them for their goals and works with them to develop a practice plan. His method is different from other instructors. It is fun from the beginning. There are no shortcuts with the guitar, you get what you put in. However Danny can keep you on track to maximize your time.

Her positivity, focus and flexibility always made us feel welcome. Her ability to interpret the voice and what needs to be done to improve is profound. Annie provided my daughter with the skill and confidence to absolutely achieve her goal. Voice lessons amplified her talent and it showed on stage! Annie is professional and talented. Grateful we found her. Recommend without hesitation.

Frank has been a tremendous help through my advancements in piano technique and interpretation. His application of Italian bel-canto principles, as well as his natural exercises of the hands and wrists, has broadened my technique in indescribable ways. Just by watching his hands play the keyboard, I can apply his principles to create an incredible interpretation from a technical and interpretive standpoint.
