Price by lesson length
| Length | Typical price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 30 minutes | $36 | Kids, first chords |
| 45 minutes | $47 | Teens, adult beginners |
| 60 minutes | $57 | Adults, electric, jazz or classical guitar |
For beginners, 30 to 45 minutes a week is often enough: fingertips need time to toughen up before long sessions.
Price by lesson location
- At the teacher's studio: the base rate. Most of our teachers teach from their studio.
- At your home: the base rate plus about $10 per lesson for travel, paid in full to the teacher.
- Online: the same rate, no travel.
What changes the price
- Training and experience. A music graduate with years of teaching usually charges more than a music student.
- Specialty. Classical guitar, jazz or improvisation call for specialised expertise, often priced above basic chords and strumming.
- How you pay. On Musiprof, the listed price includes everything. Paying by Interac e-transfer gives you 4% off.
What monthly budget to plan
- One 30-minute lesson a week: about $145 a month.
- One one-hour lesson a week: about $230 a month.
How to pay less without cutting quality
- Start young kids with 30-minute lessons.
- Pick a teacher close to you and go to their studio instead of paying for travel.
