i would like to know how much does it cost to learn a basic guitar course. I ask one it's about RM200 for 4 classes, one hour per class. is it reasonable?

u can get a better deal i think..
who is the instructor?

if you mean basic.. isn't that a bit overpriced?
just my 2cents coz i've never learned to play the guitar before, my bro did..

im guessing u asked one of the bigger established guitar schools? dont believe all the hype of 1hour per class from all of them especially for beginner's classes.
instead go check up on which has a better teacher etc or even smaller / private ones...got a few here u can ask.

Agree. 45 Minutes is good enough already....... You can usually find them at RM100 per month at most schools.

music master offers basic classes for RM90 a month, beginners for 30 mins (which imo, is very low)

btw, who is your instructor?

RM 80 near my area. not sure if all those courses are standard or not..

im learnin at guitar collection -mid valley-...newb here haha...

80 to 120 is reasonable~~
(depends on which one u learn.. acoustic or electric)

also depends who the instructor is.

RM 90~120 standard market price ^.^

Depends on which Guitar Classes .

What they teach in Music Schools will be different from Private Tuition .

You can customize your music classes in Private Tuition .

Lessons can be around RM 160 - RM 220 per month,
45 mins per lesson, Once a week, 4 Lesson in a Month.

Added on May 15, 2009, 1:59 pmHi there , the price you said is a standard market price for Music Schools.

Private or Customize Lessons are different.

Ranging from RM 160 - RM 220 per month.

how can we customize our lesson?
like time? or style? technique?

^ Interested to know as well.

I went for a music school sort of thing a few years back. RM 100+ per month. 30 mins each lesson. This is for classical. Acoustic a bit cheaper. But the teacher sucked so watch out for those. Good guitar player doesn't = good teacher.

i'm also interested to take private lessons ot improve my guitar playing. now i'm considering guitar collection at midvalley. does anyone here knows where can i find guitar tutors/classes in Putrajaya?

so how much is the guitar lesson in midvalley cost?... for beginner


any update on this thread?

midvally...i wonder will it be expensive there...
Anyway i would like to learn back my guitar skills too...
i was thinking should i learn the free style ( learning songs only) or adopt in music (Yamaha) to brush up the key notes...

so far i found 1 month for rm65 4 lesson per month

I planning to learn guitar too...acoustic...^^
Can recommmend any in Cheras...?'

Oh wow, i wish i could find one for basic Bass course, but in my area, mostly are piano class

Hehe, my area isproced at RM75 per month. Basic that is. Quite expensive actually. Because it's only 4 times a month and each time is 45mins only.

Where's your place of learning...?'
I wish I could find a more affordable one for myself too cos still student...
I have asked one branch under yamaha..
The lesson costs me about RM200 per month for 1 hour a week, 4 times in a month...

I read from other forums that the average of fees for that 4 hours just need RM100... but I don't know where to find at Cheras area...

hi any school to learn in sunway area? interested in acoustic

Any recommendations for PJ area for a basic?

I like the teachers in Mahogany SS2

Many good links off the net, and on youtube to get you started on your basics

Only problem is you may develop bad habits.

rm100 for 4 hours a month.. i also wan to learn..

sunway got opus, guitar collection... if u wan more option, u may go ss15 or taipan

normally is depends the teacher and if u look for acoustic or electric, i think most of the place is the same..

agree that, but they will only realize when they wanted to go higher grade..
for acoustic and electric not that strict, can use any way...

the way they keep asking you to buy their guitar ?

I torrent
feel guity edi

where else? Music Master in ss2

I already had a guitar back then, so they couldn't pester me

They might've recommended some brand they carried, but I used a Dean, and my teacher preferred my Dean to anything they had

wah! rm100 for 4 hours in 1 month ? so cheap meh?

Normally it's rm90 or rm100 for 2 hours in 1 month (½ hour lesson x 4 weeks) for beginner if you ask around music centers. This is the market price nowadays.

p.s: I remember 5 years back, i was paying rm60 a month as beginner... teachers earn so less...

i actually started with rm60 per month..even now it's still the same price at my centre..

Don't so kedekut la...

How teacher going to buy rice?

well.. i got my customize lesson for a one month package lesser than that.. got it at guitar gallery opposite of ampang point..

who was your teacher there? i know a couple of guys there too bad theyre closing if im nt wrg

I dunno about them closing... damn...

I cant remember my teacher name la..

im ampang got any recommendations?

4 hrs for RM200 is very overpriced. RM80-100+ should be reasonable.

I learned from mahagony too previously

Siapa cikgu tu?

im looking for a teacher that can teach me things i want..say how to read notes or scales maybe? or if i wanna learn a technique he will show me... not really intrested in format teachers that say u have to past stage 1 to go stage 2 ting.. hehe

Interested in finding FEMALE tutor around s.jaya area.. got any?? (sound impossible though)

I know this is an old thread but I will update. I live Johor Bahru. I am an American. I am also an Indie Artist and own my own recording studio in my home. I am teaching private guitar lessons in my home for RM100 a month. One class a week. 30 to 45 minute class. These are beginner lessons.

cell-19-265-8816

I think is a little bit overprice. Normally for beginner 30-45 mins is more than enough. Price will be around 100-120.

Anyone teaching in Damansara / PJ area?

ard rm20 per class, 30mins.

Anyone female tutor teaching guitar in Petaling Jaya?

try asking doremi in kota damansara.

There's quite many shop offering lessons.

The Guitar Store at Damansara Perdana for example http://theguitarstore.com.my/

There are other music shops all over the place.

I wonder,how "basic" is basic? Cuz I learn guitar thru my buddy while lepak using his cheap rm100 kapok. Teach me almost all chords,finger placement, transition,strumming, picking. After that,everything by ears. Im not an advance player btw, just wonder, cuz ive never roll into any class/course.

Any good recommended place offering guitar lessons in Puchong? I aim to start learning on my own first but just in case I get stuck, I will want to enroll in guitar class.

im also looking for a female tutor in pj..

Any tutor around seremban??can pm me..

RM120 half hour class 4-times a week. Is this ok? My bro said half hour not sufficient especially if student got many questions.

Rm100 per month, once a week for beginner

Hi everyone, does anyone know is it good to learn acoustic guitar from TGS academy?

Hey Hunge, I once tutored at TGS. It really depends on the tutor on which you get. However, as the rate they're paying is very much like other schools (generally speaking), i.e. with low pay rate to the tutors, the turnover rate of the tutors is extremely high and you might be left stranded with your progress and having to reexplain everything you've learned to a new tutor (everytime a new tutor comes into the pic). This, in my opinion, waste up to 2-4 of your lessons. That being said, this scenario is common in music schools.

Not promoting, but in my school, I pay my tutors higher than average market rate, so they don't quit on me - also they're all graduates from uni. Either that or they have been teaching for more than 10 years. You'll finish each grade in 1-3 months average as with all past and current students. All courses are EXPRESS / FAST Music Lessons. To sum it up we offer FAST & Express Guitar Lessons in Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur & Petaling Jaya & Skype
Finish Learning 1 song in 1st Hour. Also Available: FAST Play by Ear / Perfect Pitch, Ukulele, Songwriting, DJ, Piano, Vocal, Bass, Drums, Music Production Lessons


If you would be keen, you can always give me a phone call at 016-2364998
Not all courses are published yet, but you can have a look at www.BeartheMusic.com for past references and video performances of students, etc.

Talk soon

Have you ever thought that you don't even need a teacher to begin with?

Before finding a teacher I would suggest you to find a good beginners book like Guitar for Dummies or something like that and begin playing yourself. And after that go and find a teacher. You must not pay somebody else for the information you can find in a book too

I'm learning from there right now, but I find it expensive that they are charging RM250 per month(my dad is pestering me to quit now)... and I feel like I didn't learn much from the classes(and felt slightly bored too, maybe because my tutor teaches too much on theory).

Might be considering to try out other places now..

Is RM250/month(45 mins per class) expensive for guitar lessons?

Honestly the biggest advantage if you go for classes is you have someone to point out your mistakes and correct them. Many self taught guitarist often learn bad habits (eg. plucking with only one finger as opposed to using p, a, m, i fingering). And usually classes are structured in a way that follows your progress as you go along. If you're a self taught guitarist, you might make the mistake of attempting to learn a difficult song at the beginning. In the end, you might give up thinking guitar is difficult to learn.

I'm not saying self taught guitarists are no good but if they actually have someone to guide them, their progress will be much better

hi, im suddenly interested to learn music again..
try learning by myself but it didnt go well and i abandon it lol
but now im thinking to find teacher to learn bass guitar in ampang!
got any recomend place and teacher here?

Problem is sometimes some self taught guitarist can play better than the guitar teachers !
Agree that it is good to have someone to guide but
Talented and good teachers are hard to find.
Many of my friends learnt from teachers but learnt nothing after many lessons because they find the theory hard to rmber and also sendiri dont practice.

free > internet

classes only when you wanna go beyond just playing for fun

This one looks good https://guitarkl.com

True i can only pluck with 3 fingers, that only after i learned to play "More Than words" . my other two are idle.
