Claire, some music stores charge the teachers a set fee from $5 to $10 per 1/2 hr. and the teacher charges what they want, can get, etc. Others take all of the money and pay the teachers - typically they will get anywhere from 50-70% for the teacher. Advantage of that is the stores often have quite a strict cancellation policy so the teacher isn't stuck trying to fit in makeups. The student either shows or doesn't, but the teacher still gets paid (as in not showing up to a gym for a month but still paying). Us teachers of course have to stay within "market pricing". There's always somebody who will charge a lot less and a lot more. I change my rates about once every 5 years, but right now it's going on 6 and I probably won't do anything - economy is too bad right now. I've noticed a slowdown in calls for new students due to that absolutely. Asto rates, there are students parents who may pick a teacher who charges $25 for 1/2 hr over someone who is $17 as the perception is that the $25 teacher is better. Not always the case, but often you do get what you pay for. http://www.SkypeClarinetLessons.com
