It was very good

It was very good. I have been taking lessons for 5 years on the violin and love my teacher. Cara Arnold is the best!

Beatrice is there best instructor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She is worth every penny and more. I will continue with her until I have fluency in my chosen language; and beyond to fine tune my skill set.

Lots of Hard Sell and pressure sales

Moments after showing a little interest in a teacher I received a phone call from a sales person who was unrelated to the teacher in any way and pushing me really hard 5o spend a lot of money. They used some very archaic sales techniques and made me very uncomfortable. In fact they talked me out of the 1 hour package I wanted and I ended up with a half hour package because I didn't trust them. The teacher I wanted to use is amazing and stuck behind the need for a lot of red tape. I'm still with them begrudgingly because the teacher I work with is amazing.

Voice lesson teacher

We needed a voice lessons teacher and one close by. We love Lisa Cross and all that she has to offer! She’s has lots of experience and is very helpful with picking out great songs for my daughter to work on in between lessons. She is caring and is flexible with in house lessons or doing them virtually. Highly recommend Take lessons to help find a teacher like we did with Lisa Cross!

Was able to find an excellent flamenco guitar instructor. It has been a very valuable experience and way to connect with Diego Alonso who otherwise lives too far for me to travel on a continuing basis for lessons. This forum made it possible for me to have a sustainable series of lessons from Diego. It works very well also with the accounting and keeping track of the fees and any rescheduling.

Worth it

TakeLessons.com has been very helpful in my guitar learning experience. I would not be anywhere near as far as I am in expertise and understanding of music and the instrument.

Hi Char,

Thank you for the feedback. We look forward to improving our student accounts this year. A big initiative for us is to make it easier for you to manage your own schedule, while at the same time, allow our instructors to approve any changes made to their own schedule.

At this time, we allow students to cancel lessons online as long as it is 24 hours prior to the scheduled lesson time, due to our 24-hour cancellation policy. Lastly, discounts are only available to new students signing up with new teachers.

If you have additional questions or need assistance managing your schedule, please contact our support team at the number or email below:
