Subj: [kl] Survey of teaching rates
Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2002 00:01:53 -0500

Bill had written:
I feel that my daughter, who teaches, needs to have a broader view
(nationwide and worldwide) of what private teachers are paid for their
lessons and whether giving lessons in the student's home is 'part of the
business'.

[ For my daughter's sake, I want her to be aware that this email group
includes a wide assortment of teachers, ranging from world-renowned
performers who teach to college music professors to "the lady or man
next door" to <gasp!> a grandmother who plays in motorcycle bars. ]

I hope that many of you will either post or email to me off-list a short
statement (only two or three sentences):

(1) What charge is reasonable in your area for less than "music
conservatory level" lessons

(b) Whether, and for what fee, you would travel to a student's home

(c) What you think is a reasonable policy if the student's parent asks
for scheduling changes

I hope that it's obvious that I will be sending all replies (including a
copy of this post) in a packet to my daughter. I believe I know what
most of you will say, but I want her to hear it from other people's
mouths.

Thank you, sincerely,
Bill

I have been working on a revised version of my survey. As many were away for
the summer, I ask that everyone send again your info for what you charge for
lessons in your area - ((NAME what the area is)) and how often you change
your rates. Also what you know that the range in your area is for your
instrument.
