Online Guitar Classes in New Zealand

Jam and Play offers online guitar classes in New Zealand through live, one-to-one video lessons. New Zealand is the furthest ahead of India of any country we teach, which shapes the schedule: lessons start in the late afternoon and run through the evening. Each lesson is 45 minutes. Four lessons cost ₹3,999, and the first 30-minute demo is free.

01

The schedule, plainly

We teach from 9 am to 10 pm India time. New Zealand is 7.5 hours ahead during daylight saving, and 6.5 hours ahead in winter.

In practice, New Zealand students book between 4:30 and 8:30 pm on weekdays, or between 4:30 pm and late on weekends. Morning lessons before school or work aren't possible, because they fall in the Indian night.

A 5 pm lesson in Auckland in summer is 9:30 am in India. A 7:30 pm lesson is 12 noon. Both sit comfortably in our day.

Time conversions are shown for standard and daylight-saving time where applicable, using 2026 time-zone rules. A window that crosses midnight spans two calendar days. These are teaching hours, not a list of available 45-minute appointments; confirm your city, date and lesson time before booking.

02

Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and beyond

Auckland families typically book straight after school, around 4:30 to 5:30 pm, before dinner. Wellington learners often prefer later, around 7 pm, after commuting home. In Christchurch and Dunedin, students tend to choose Sunday afternoons. Smaller towns work equally well, because the only requirement is a decent connection.

Once a term timetable changes, we move your slot. Tell us before term starts.

03

Who this suits

It suits children who finish school at 3 pm and want a quiet slot after sport. It suits adults who work till 5 pm and learn in the evening. And it suits families wanting both Indian film songs and a general guitar foundation.

It doesn't suit anyone needing a morning lesson. At 7 am in Auckland it's 11:30 pm the night before in India.

04

What a lesson looks like

You join a Zoom or Google Meet link. The teacher watches your hands through the camera and corrects as you play. You get a practice plan of 15 to 20 minutes a day. If this is your first online lesson, how online guitar lessons work covers setup. Beginners learn two open chords in lesson one.

05

Fees and paying from New Zealand

Prices are in Indian rupees.

New Zealand students usually pay by PayPal or Wise, which convert from New Zealand dollars at the day's rate. There is no surcharge from our side and no lock-in. See private online guitar lessons.

Kids in New Zealand

The minimum age is 8. A parent should be nearby for the first few lessons. Because the day ends early in New Zealand, a 4:30 to 6 pm slot is the most requested. See online guitar lessons for kids.

07

Sharing a lesson

Two students can share a lesson for ₹3,200 for four lessons. See online group guitar classes.

08

Songs and exams

For Hindi film songs, see Bollywood guitar lessons. We teach the Trinity and Rockschool guitar syllabi and prepare students for exams, but we aren't an exam centre, so check with the board for a centre near you. See exam preparation.
