    Rated 5 out of 5 by Exciting to see Bob has been for 4 lessons with my son, David, so far and we are very hopeful for this next year. Prior to this we have gone through 2 other instructors unrelated to this site and have not been pleased with David's progress. In just 4 lessons, he has learned more then the previous year and half combined. It's going very well now. Bob is patient and very nice. He seems very passionate about teaching. I would highly recommend him as an instructor for guitar and singing. January 5, 2012
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Feedback for Robert Robert is an excellent teacher. His focus is on the student. He is prompt and mindful of what he wants to accomplish during each session and is obviously very knowledgable in all aspects of music. He is patient and fair, yet challenges our son to improve and practice. I like how he adds his own flair to each lesson, demonstrating what is possible with mastery of the instrument being taught. His style makes lessons fun for our 8 year old son. He looks forward to his weekly lesson and is happy to practice on his own during the week so he is ready for some of the excercises Robert works with him on during their sessions. We have been amazed at our sons progress even in the few months he has been taking guitar lessons with Robert. After only a few lessons with Robert he was already confident enough with the guitar to play in front of an audience of classmates and parents at his school. We are very happy with Roberts teaching and plan to continue with the in home lessons. November 23, 2011
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Doing an excellent job with Jason. He is excited about music & looks forward to his next lesson. He's having fun. March 2, 2011

  • 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.
