The Pros and Cons of Group Guitar Lessons

There are many advantages to taking group guitar lessons.  First of all, learning together is fun and can build camaraderie, plus questions posed by students can provide additional insight to the other students in the group session.  Students can discuss topics with each other outside of the sessions and even get together to play and practice.  Friendly competitions may develop in group sessions, resulting in students practicing more diligently in an effort to play as well or better than others in the group.

Students who participate in group sessions will also be more comfortable playing in front of other people when the opportunity arises.  Having already played in front of other students, solo performance should come easier to a group session participant than one who has never performed in front of others.

Additionally, group lessons are offered at a lower price, so the initial investment is less than private sessions.

While there are many benefits to group lessons, there can also be drawbacks.  For example, because each session serves the group as a whole, the sessions progress at the best pace for the majority of the students, which may cause a student to feel that the class is either too fast or too slow for them.  Although some individual attention is provided, each student does not receive the personalized instruction in a group session that they would receive in a private lesson.  It is also possible that shy students may feel intimidated by the presence of other students and may not participate as fully in the group environment as they would in an individual session.
