In the Philadelphia area there are several music schools, one large system in particular called Settlement Music Schools, that offer free or reduced-fee lessons based on financial need. In the case of Settlement Schools the discount/free program is supported by United Way, the faculties are quite good, and they have branches all over the city and nearby suburbs.

But this kind of arrangement takes the whole discussion out of the realm of private lesson fees. The schools take a hefty cut of the fees they collect and pay the teachers considerably less than the going rate for lessons arranged between the teacher and student directly.
