Thanks for your interest in guitar lessons. Here's a quick overview of lesson formats, rates, and what students receive. After this, I'll send over a short intake form so we can find the best fit.
How rates work
Lesson rates depend on format and location. Most students choose one of the options below. Shared lessons can usually be split between two students.
| Setting | Format | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio group lesson | Small group, 11 am - 1 pm | $20/ hr | A small group, mostly 6th-grade students. |
| Private studio lesson | One additional one-on-one hour | $80-$100/ 1-hour session | Bring a friend and split the cost in half. |
| Private in-home lesson | One-on-one, at your home | From $70/ hr | Anywhere in the greater San Jose area. (I'm based in south San Jose.) |
| Private lesson at community centerMost flexible | One-on-one, once a week | $40/ hr | At my complex, with a lovely outdoor space and reservable indoor rooms. Can also be shared with a friend and the price divided. |
