How Our Music Lessons Work
For music lessons in your Manhattan and Brooklyn home, look no further than Hey Joe Guitar, one of the top-rated music schools in New York City. On this page, we tell you how our music lessons work.
1. Choose your instrument
Let’s start at the beginning. The first step in learning how our music lessons work is choosing the instrument you want to learn or study. Sometimes, Joe Berger will serve as a ‘soup-to-nuts’ consultant, helping parents to determine what instrument is best for their child. Our teachers are proficient in teaching many instruments. Hey Joe Guitar can teach guitar, piano, bass, violin, drums, saxophone, clarinet, flute, recorder, harmonica, ukulele, and mandolin.
We also have music teachers who can teach songwriting and singing. Some music students combine lessons and study more than one instrument at a time. It is possible to combine guitar and songwriting. The teacher who is assigned to you will explore with you what your musical interests are and create an individualized music lesson plan that is right for you.
2. Scheduling your in-home music lessons
Once you know what musical instrument you want to study, our Director, Joe Berger, will work with you to identify a teacher who is just right for you. Joe will coordinate scheduling your music lessons. How our music lessons work is that once a teacher is assigned to you, our office will contact you about scheduling your music lessons. Hey Joe Guitar Music School offers lessons that, besides being great for adults, are particularly well suited to children. We have students as young as two (2) years old! We take pride in shepherding the musical interests of young people and children. While our lessons can be as serious as a student likes, we also focus on making sure that lessons are fun, light-hearted, and engaging. Once a schedule is set, your music teacher will come to your Manhattan or Brooklyn home at the scheduled times. Our lessons are available seven days per week, at any reasonable hour.
3. What happens when you give us a call? 646-320-3131
When a new student or parent calls, they talk with Joe Berger, our founder and director. This is important in “getting to know” the music student. Joe Berger (a New York City parent and professional musician) will ask questions about the students’ learning styles, personalities, experiences with music, and musical goals. The better acquainted we become with the music students, their learning style, and their personalities, the easier for us to find a music teacher well-suited to meet the student’s needs. After this ‘getting to know you’ conversation, most communication will occur through email and text for your convenience. Of course, Joe is always available to address any questions or concerns students or their parents may have.
4. Your music teacher will come to you!
Hey Joe Guitar instructors love teaching and are graduates or advanced students from some of the top music schools and conservatories. Joe Berger interviews all our teachers to ensure they are responsible, trustworthy, and capable as fun-loving music teachers who meet our high standards. Hey Joe Guitar Music School has a track record of more than a decade and has proven how our music lessons work effectively with most students.
5. Getting started with your music lessons!
Now, the real fun begins! Your assigned music teacher will come to your home and begin teaching whatever musical instrument you have chosen to learn. We are confident that our teachers and students will be compatible. Your teacher will work with you to confirm a regular teaching schedule, and you can decide if you want 30-, 40- or 60-minute sessions or longer!
Please ask Joe about the benefits of our Student Membership programs. They are simple, and there are no signup fees. Students commit to lessons one month at a time, and lessons can be discontinued or ‘frozen’ at any time.
We are thrilled to be part of our student’s journey with music!
