Out of curiosity I registered as a student with the one that comes up as hit #1 on Google for "webcam music lessons", and found that all fees are set by the instructor. One Tina Guo is charging $100 per 30 minute lesson for piano/keyboard lessons; others, with fewer awards on their resume, are charging $25.
So far all this particular website offers is bass (which seems to include both double bass and bass guitar), cello, drum, guitar, piano/keyboard, "recording" (I have no idea what this would be), violin (but there are no instructors signed up yet), vocal, and "ztar", which according to Google is a "midi guitar".
No oboe. No "serious" orchestral/band instruments at all, other than Tina Guo with her cello and the guy who plays double bass.
And since all lessons are transmitted through headphones, I can't imagine how an oboe teacher could adequately evaluate such things as intonation, since we've already established that recorded oboe tone is elusive.
