First Chord offers 45 and 30 minute lessons. As a rough guide, 45 minutes is generally an ideal amount of time for young people over 12 and adults. This length of lesson allows appropriate time for reflection on practice, music listening, developing ongoing pieces and working on something new. For younger kids under 12, we recommend 30 minute lessons. This isn’t always the case and it’s something we can have a chat about in the free trial lesson. We do also offer 1 hour lessons which can be great if you are either an intermediate to advanced player who wants to dig a little deeper each lesson. Prices are as follows:
One to one lessons
1 hour – £34.00
45 mins – £27
30mins – £20.50
Group lessons
45 min – £16.50 (per person, maximum of 3 in a group)
Large Groups
Adult Ukulele Group (1hr 45min) – £35 per month
Kids Ukulele Group (45mins) – £7 per week
Lessons are charged weekly via direct debit.
Missed lessons, cancellations and holidays
If you can’t attend your lesson in person, the following options are…
- A virtual lesson on Zoom at your scheduled time slot
- Your tutor will send a video between 7-12 minutes with notes on what to practice for next lesson.
If you must cancel a lesson, we ask for one weeks notice. The lesson would not be charged in this instance.
On the topic of holidays, we operate throughout all bank holidays and the summer. Over Christmas and Easter we take a two week break. Some tutors may offer lessons during Easter to those that would like them.
