piano lessons?

[luvmyfam444]

How much are y'all paying for private piano lessons in your area? And how long are the lessons?

 

[freckles and boo]

Our music school tuition is $68/month.

That is for one half hour private lesson a week for any instrument or voice. My daughter's lessons are on Wednesdays. If the month has four Wednesdays it comes to $17/half hour. If there are five Wednesdays in a month it is a bonus. Books, other materials, competition fees, etc. are minimal.

Wow - I didn't realize what a bargain that was!

We pay that for guitar lessons as well, but flute lessons are $20/half hour.

okay...then I guess ours is right there with the rest of y'all. the teacher we talked to yesterday told us it would be $65 a month...honestly I ALMOST fell out...'cause it wasn't but just about 5 yrs ago I was just paying $35 a month...but we're in a new town...I wasn't sure if the price was from inflation or 'cause this teacher has to pay a fee to the place she teaches OR if it's 'cause of who she is (the local school music teacher)...

I was thinking twice about $65 a month...dd takes group violin lessons & that's $300 a year - so more like $40 a month - of course I know its cheaper 'cause its group (5 kids for 1 hour) I just wasn't expecting private piano to be so high.

And I thought ballet & softball & soccer were expensive!

I pay $98 a month for one weekly half hour lesson. The person comes to our home though. We bought a piano just so we didn't have to travel to yet another activity.

I guess we are really lucky. We take lessons from an extremely talented young woman we attend church with. She is only in 10th grade and has been playing the organ/piano at church for years and has also accompanied the middle and high school chorus' for a few years. She has recently increased her fee to a whopping $7.50/half hour lesson. She uses her income mostly to pay for her supplies and lessons for herself.

$80/month for one 1/2 hour lesson per week.

LOL! I know!

And horseback riding - $125/month plus it's 90 mins round trip to the barn...

We pay $40/month for group music lessons too, btw

$35/hour - but the teacher loves to chat. Feel like we really only get 40 mins of actual lesson time.

 

[kendall]

$23/half hour private lesson/week

 

[mjkacmom]

$30 per 1/2 hour everywhere here, including private homes.
