 Re: Going Rate for Student Lessons

Here in Richmond, VA most lessons in music stores run $20-22 per half hour. Out of that figure, teachers are charged $4-6 room rent in most cases. I heard that a local college prof was getting $60 per hour, and a local arts academy charges $60 per hour for lessons that aren't part of a normal semester program.

I'd be curious to know what the college instructors are clearing. A friend of mine quit teaching at one local University because he could make more money in a music store.

In-school lessons are generally cheaper. Most programs that I'm aware of charge $15 per half hour.

I agree with all the traffic about how our rates don't increase readily, and how we're underpaid compared to private instructors of other types. BUT...pricing is more of an art than a science and is a creature more of market than product. I've long survived competition with quality players, and my results make me feel that I can hold my own. The competition that I fear would come from snake-oil salesmen and attractive young females. So are we so surprised that we make less money than folks who teach you how to be slick, and/or attractive?
