Ive been paying £50 a term for guitar lessons for my 10yr old for 1.5yrs. I have only been told now that it is only 5-8mins once a week done in groups of 2 in a large group. Now DS1 cannot strum a tune and we are unable to provide any help as neither of us can read music.
The school is in financial problems and can no longer provide any help with subbing these lessons and the price is going up.
My question is really is there any point in continuing forking out when I would be better paying an hours lesson once a fortnight with a private tutor - usually around £20ph. Surely working on a 6 week term it would only cost me £10 more however it does mean taking him to someones home, hanging around somewhere (as rural cant just pop back). The only other option is to see if I can find a tutor to go to our school and share the lesson with someone else - there will be travel costs but still work out cheaper. However the school is small and finding a room may be problematic.
