How long a guitar lesson should a student have?
The length of a private lesson depends of each student’s guitar playing experience, age, and practicing ability during the lesson. We recommend setting up an evaluation appointment to determine the optimum lesson length. There is no cost for this. Typically, we suggest a half-an-hour private lesson for young beginners. As they progress, at the advice of the teacher, they can advance to a 45-minute session. For older or intermediate guitar students, a 45-minute lesson is recommended. A lesson will cover not only the technical and theoretical aspects of guitar playing, but also a repertoire improvement. For guitarists who play at the advanced level, a 60-minute lesson would be ideal.
