music lesson

Scales and arpeggios

A music lesson is a session of instruction in playing an instrument, singing, or understanding musical theory, typically one-on-one with a teacher: She takes piano lessons every Tuesday.

The term covers both formal study with a professional instructor and informal teaching: My dad gave me my first guitar lessons.
