Questions & answers
Lessons, answered.
What parents and students ask most about iPickGuitar lessons — ages, styles, what's included, and how long each lesson runs.
What styles can I learn?
Classical, rock, pop, blues and jazz, plus Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) preparation from Preparatory through Level 10. You choose a guitar style when you book — acoustic, electric, or classical — and lessons follow the music you enjoy.
What does a lesson include?
Lessons are adapted to your level and goals and can include songs, chords, scales, music reading, rhythm, theory, improvisation, and performance skills. RCM students also work on repertoire, technique, sight-reading, and exam preparation.
How long is each lesson?
Lessons are 30, 45, or 60 minutes — you pick the length when you book. Younger beginners often start with 30 minutes; older students and RCM candidates usually take 45 or 60.
Where do lessons happen?
In your home, anywhere across Toronto and the GTA, or online by video call. Online students need a reliable internet connection, a device with a camera and microphone, and a tuned guitar.
How much do lessons cost?
Your first lesson is a free 45-minute trial, with no commitment. After that, lessons are booked in packages of four: in-home packages are $170–$340 and online packages $120–$240, depending on lesson length. See the pricing page for the full rates.
When are lessons available?
Monday to Friday, 2 pm to 8 pm, and Saturday and Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (Toronto time). You request a date and time through the booking page, and Julian confirms every request personally.
Who teaches the lessons?
Every lesson is taught personally by Julian Hasko, who founded iPickGuitar in 2010 and studied through the Royal Conservatory under classical guitarist Robert Hamilton.
