I was wondering if I would be wasting my dollars if I could only take a lessons 1 time per month. Do you think it would still be very beneficial, or to really get anything out of it I would need more frequent lessons? I cant afford to take lessons more frequently at 65.00 per hour.

Thanks

$65 per hour sounds rather high to me. Most music teachers of various instruments in my neck of town seem to be around $40/hr.

As far as will you benefit from once a month lessons? Hell Yes! A good teacher can give you plenty to work on for a month.

But I think average teachers on average instruments really would like to give you 2 lessons @ 1 hour per month.

I'm a student of Dave Barretts

At the present time I'm taking lessons twice a month
But when I first started I was going once a week

If you can only afford once a month make sure you record the lesson
That way you can review the lesson over and over at home
To be honest how much you benefit from a lesson will be depend on how much you practice between lessons

I take lessons once a month. It gives me enough time to really practice all things we cover.

Thanks for supporting the teachers.
I used to commute to NY from Philly
every two to three weeks to study with
Robert Bonfiglio. I worked
my butt off between lessons.
At my old music college lessons
were once a week and juried at
the end of the semester.
