How do I find a music teacher?

Visit our Music Lessons page and choose an instrument, pursuit, or style to browse the artists offering lessons relevant to your topic, then pick the right artist (or artists) to help you reach your personal musical goals.

• Instrument, pursuit, style, or artist name
• Skill level (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
• Age group
• Preferred lesson day

Once you find an artist you’re interested in taking lessons with, simply click through to learn more about them and their teaching style to see if they’re a good fit for your musical goals.

How much do music lessons cost?

Prices for music lessons vary, but they all tend to be around $30 for half-hour lessons and $60 for one-hour lessons. Each artist’s rates are posted on their Music Lessons product. From any music lessons page, click on an artist to see their lesson rates.

Do I have to take weekly music lessons?

Absolutely not. You can take lessons from whomever you want, as frequently as you’d like, whenever our artists are available.

How do I book a music lesson?

Each artist has an availability calendar posted directly on their Music Lessons product. Use the calendar to find a day and time that works for you, and book your next music lesson with them directly.

Can I book more than one music lesson at a time?

Of course! Add as many music lessons as you want to your cart, one at a time, from however many artists you want to take lessons with.

Where do the lessons take place?

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of our artists are prepared to teach virtually. Some artists are teaching in-person lessons, following CDC safety guidelines. Each artist’s Music Lessons product will tell you where they teach.

How does the actual music lesson work?

For each lesson you book, you submit the student’s name and an email address for coordination with the artist. You can also add a message to the artist about what the student wants to learn, or even specifically what they want to work on during the lesson. For each lesson you book, the artist will reach out to you via email to coordinate, including:

• A calendar event for each lesson
• Links to virtual meetings for online lessons OR an address for in-person lessons
• Any follow-up questions or information they may have for the student

What platform do the artists use for virtual music lessons?

The virtual platforms (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.) vary from artist to artist, but all are FREE and can be discussed with the artist prior to the lesson if there are any preferences or technical issues.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule a music lesson?

Can I learn more about each artist?

You can also visit each artist’s profile to learn more about them, including their bio, pro music credentials, primary influences, audio and video clips of them playing, and what other services they are offering through the Club. You can find a link to each artists’s profile in the “About the Artist” section on each Music Lessons product, or you can visit Our Artists page.

Wait . . . what is a Music Workshop anyway?

A Music Workshop is a lot like a group music lesson, with usually one teaching artist and 5 to 10 attendees. They’re a great way to learn more about a particular music topic that interests you, whether you’re looking for a deep dive or just dipping your toe in the pool. The teaching artists also create opportunities within each workshop for attendees to get focused attention and/or interact directly with the teaching artist and the other attendees, including Q&A and feedback.

How do I find the right Music Workshop for me?

• Instrument (vocals, drums and percussion, or banjo, for example)
• Pursuit (performance, improvisation, songwriting, music software, and more)
• Style (jazz, musical theatre, world music, and more)
• Skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• Age group
• Recurring schedule (weekly, monthly, bi-monthly, or one-time)
