Why this feels difficult
Price alone does not tell you whether a lesson is good value. Compare how much direct attention you receive, whether the teacher stays consistent, how well the material fits and whether you leave knowing what to do next.
Private tuition costs more per session than an app because the teaching time is entirely yours.
Group classes lower the individual cost but cannot adapt every minute to one player.
Courses and free videos are rich sources of information but do not diagnose your playing.
Teacher fit and the quality of feedback often matter more than squeezing in extra minutes.
A sensible learning path
- 130 minutes: focused beginner work or one specific problem.
- 245 minutes: playing, feedback, new material and a practice plan.
- 360 minutes: multiple goals, detailed technique, theory, improvisation or songwriting.

Where a live teacher changes things
One-to-one time is used on your playing rather than a generic sequence. Your teacher teaches every lesson himself, so the value also includes continuity and preparation.
You learn directly with your teacher. Your teacher does not change from week to week, so each lesson can build on what happened last time.
