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

I teach very flexibly, catering to both your wants as a student and any problem areas that you may or may not be aware of. Rather than drills and formal theory, I focus on making playing guitar feel like... playing. If you are a beginner, a typical starting point with my classes is learning an enjoyable new song immediately. Through this, we can discuss the new techniques, chords, and anything else of interest, but the focus is on getting you playing something you like. From there, we can start to dabble in improvisation. That may sound scary at first, but it is consistently my students' favorite part of lessons after a couple tries. Playin...

For those who prefer a digital classroom, online lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour. Monthly ongoing instruction costs $170 to $315 with a prepaid discount.

Why should I take classical guitar lessons?

You should take classical guitar lessons if you have an acoustic guitar and want to learn how to play classical concertos or Spanish-style music with fingerpicking.

Classical guitar lessons teach you how to:

  • Use nylon-string guitars and strum with the fingers instead of a pick
  • Develop your fingers to focus on complex fingerpicking techniques
  • Understand classical music theory and sight-reading

At what age should I start classical guitar lessons?

Children generally begin their classical guitar journey between the ages of 6 to 10, or as soon as they can hold the instrument well with enough hand strength to press the strings. Adults of all ages can master the instrument with the correct guidance and consistent practice.

How many classical guitar lessons do I need?

The number of weekly classical guitar lessons you need will depend on your personal goals and dedication to practice. A beginner might grasp a simple song within 2 to 6 months, but acquiring proficiency like a professional requires 4 to 10 years on average.

How do I find the best classical guitar lessons near me?

You can find proficient classical guitar tutors nearby by looking at the listings here on the Lessons platform. Sometimes teachers ara available through local music stores too.

Before hiring your tutor, always:

  • Obtain quotes from a minimum of 3 teachers and clarify what they teach.
  • Review feedback about them on Google and the Lessons site.
  • Request a reference list of their past students.
  • Ask fellow parents about their children's experiences with the tutor.
  • Secure a written agreement and schedule prior to the first session.
  • Make small initial payments to gauge the tutor's compatibility before committing to a full month.

What questions do I ask when choosing a classical guitar teacher?

Ask these pertinent questions to help you pick a classical guitar teacher:

  • Did you study music formally, and what qualifications do you have?
  • How many years have you been teaching classical guitar?
  • Could I have a trial lesson to see if your teaching method works for me?
  • What is the typical age range of your students?
  • Which model of acoustic guitar should I purchase?
  • Will you assign homework, and how much practice is required?
  • What type of strings are best for beginners?
  • Which books should I buy for learning classical guitar?
  • Can you accommodate different learning styles?
  • What essentials should I bring to class, and how long is each session?
  • Can I have a written copy of our class schedule?
  • What is your policy for missed classes?
  • Am I allowed to suggest songs that I would like to learn?

Reviews for West Allis classical guitar lessons

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.

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.

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.
