I think $12 is too much for a high school student to charge. $8 sounds about right. I *do* live in the Northeast, and rates vary from professionals (high $$$), to studio/teachers with B.S. or thereabouts charging $15-20 per half hour, and college students charging $10-12. You don't have a degree yet. If you are going to charge that much, you really have to have something like that (qualification-wise, experience, etc.) to offer the parents of the students. They are paying for your expertise, and you have never taught yet!
You might want to check around, call local music studios and find out what they pay their 1st year teachers. Then take minimum 1/3 off of that. Also, depending on the area where you live, you'll find that if you charge less, you might get a few more kids, as well.
