    Lesson Details
    Lessons start with learning the names of notes, how to read music, a bit of music theory (time signature, sharps and flats) and how this translates to the instrument the child chooses. All instruments are taught by fingering first and then musical notes second. It is easier for the child this way, and he/she can be playing a song with both hands by the end of first lesson.

    As the child learns the beginning steps of reading and implementing music, I encourage them to tell me what songs they ...

  • Rated 5 out of 5 by 25 reviewers.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by It is well worth it We are so glad that we found Take Lessons. We are even more happy with Jane Yii as our son's instructor. We, as a family, are not musically inclined in any shape or form. It has been 10 months now, and we are so proud of our guitarist. He plays with confidence, and an understanding of notes and chords. Instructor Jane has shown that she has a wealth of knowledge of the music world. It is definitely visible in how our son has progressed. He has great admiration for her. May 7, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Patient and supportive with loads of praise My daughter is learning the piano and is quite unsure of herself and lacks confidence. She needs lots of reassurance and something extra to inspire her to practice. She practices every moment she can and is so proud of herself with what she can do since starting with Jane. It's one to one and totally set to her needs/level with a sprinkling of challenge without being overwhelming. As a parent I get online and verbal feedback from each session and can truly see the progress! February 13, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by innovative refreshing and talented Jane can inspire and re-energize a student to loving and practicing music with enthusiasm. She really connects with where the kids are at and helps them to grow. My son learns quickly and needs a challenge, Jane has taken that in her stride; she gets him playing the drums to warm up and then his guitar and singing at the same time and puts it all on CD. What kid doesn't love that kind of attention! So glad we moved to Jane for his lessons. February 13, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Excellent teaching skills! We are loving the lessons with Ms. Jane. She breaks down each lesson to make learning fun and easy to understand. Using attainable goals each week for success and confidence building. We love the fact that she uses other instruments to make learning fun as well as exposing us to new instruments in the music world. November 5, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Fantastic Jane is a wonderful instructor. She has great knowledge of music and musical instruments. My son really enjoys learning from her. As a family, we are not musically inclined, but she has shown my son how to play the guitar. She makes it as if anyone can learn. I am so glad that we are able to have her as our son's teacher. July 19, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by she is awesome! so glad we found hermuch love, Lori and Sidney June 23, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by We love Teacher Jane! Jane has an amazing gift for bringing out the best in my son, Adam. She has adapted to his individual learning style, rather than following a "cookie cutter" teaching plan, which is very important with an autistic child. The progress he has made in the short time he's been with Jane is incredible! May 13, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by She is great. Our daughter is learning so much. May 4, 2012
  • Getting Started

    Excited about jumping into music lessons? Before you can get to the guitar tabs, violin concertos, and vocal riffs, take a moment to think about the logistics of your lessons.
    Lesson Length
    There are a few things to consider when choosing between 30-, 45- or 60-minute lessons. First and foremost, take your age and experience level into account. You'll also want to think about your long- and short-term goals, and the time you'll need to reach them. Most importantly, consider how long you or your child is able to stay focused.
    Lesson Location
    Teachers have the option to display availability for in-home, in-studio, and online music lessons. In-home lessons take place at your house, in-studio lessons are conducted at the teacher's home or professional studio, and online lessons are taught over the internet via live video chat.

    Book Your Lessons Online

    Scheduling your lessons is simple and quick! The prompts will guide you through each step, from securing your lesson time to selecting the payment plan that works best for you.
    Scheduling Lessons
    After you've selected your teacher, click on the Availability tab to see which time slots and days are open.
    Booking Options
    Click the "Book Online" button to get started. Enter in your contact information, and the prompts will guide you through payments, program options, and confirming your schedule. Learn more about our booking policies.
    Payment and Billing
    We make paying for your lessons convenient and hassle-free! Prices vary based on several factors, including the city you live in, the length of your lessons, and whether you're taking them at home, in your teacher's studio, or online. Lessons are paid for in advance, which locks in your time slot.
    Signing Your Customer Agreement
    Signing your Customer Agreement and completing your Student Questionnaire is the last step! The questionnaire will give your instructor valuable information about your goals and experience level, and give him or her time to create a customized lesson plan right from the start.

    Start Your Lessons

    Now the excitement can really begin! Consider the following to ensure an exceptional first lesson...
    Prepare for Your First Lesson
    Once you've completed the last step, your teacher will call you within the next couple of days to confirm your first lesson time and provide you with directions to their studio, if needed. We also encourage you to discuss your goals and any other questions you may have.
    What To Expect
    Every teacher is different, but most first lessons begin with an assessment of where you are in your studies. At a beginner level, you might review the basics of your instrument, such as the different parts, how to hold it correctly, and proper care and maintenance. For voice, this may be the time you learn about breathing and posture.
    Reach the Goals You Set
    Every TakeLessons student is unique, and so is your lesson plan! You'll work with your instructor to develop a plan suited to meet your specific goals. Most TakeLessons instructors will also keep track of your progress with a lesson journal.

    Programs & Pricing

    If you're not completely satisfied with your first lesson, we'll gladly find you another instructor or refund your entire lesson purchase.
    Can I pay when I get to the lesson?
    In order to reserve your time slot, we require payment at the time of booking, which must be at least seven days before your first lesson takes place.
    How does billing work?
    Lessons are paid for in advance, which reserves your time slot and the teacher that you want. Your specific billing date will depend on the lesson program you select.
    What forms of payment do you accept?
    At this time, we accept payments via Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express. You also have the option to pay with a debit card. We do not accept payment via cash, check, or money order.
    Do you offer a free trial lesson?
    We don't offer a free trial lesson; however, we're so confident that you'll love your lessons that we offer new customers a 100% Money Back Guarantee. If you take your first lesson and decide that you don't want to continue, we'll refund the amount you paid INCLUDING the lesson you've already taken. To request the Money Back Guarantee, simply notify us within 72 hours of your first lesson.
    Do you offer any discounts?
    At this time, we don't offer any discounts. However, if you are booking two students for consecutive in-home lessons, you'll only be charged one travel fee, instead of one fee per lesson.
