Guitar Teachers (Bay Area)

Generally, it's around $30 an hour with most sessions lasting only a half hour.

So $15 a session.

I've asked at music stores, and out here in CA the rates I've been quoted are $30 for half-hour, $60 an hour. Guess I will keep looking!

Thanks

There is another thread here from somebody in Berkeley. He says he pays $60 an hour for lessons and that it is the standard rate in the area.

Nothing in SF is cheap....I took them in DC for awhile and they were $50 an hour. I think that's pretty standard for a major city. Maybe a little more in places like NYC and SF.

I am currently taking private lessons in Berkeley. I have called about maybe 4 or 5 musicians in this area and they all charge $30/half hour or $60/hr so around $1/min. Since they were all so closely priced, I just chose the one that taught at UC Berkeley because he has the highest credentials. The others had 5+years in teaching and 10+years in playing experience but I went with the one I thought would be the best teacher. What area are you searching in by the way?

I'm near Palo Alto, actually. I've kind of decided to hold off on it, as it's so expensive.
