How much do you pay for in-school instrument lessons please?

At our school 10 half hour lessons per term cost £230 (£690 per year)

Privately I pay £30 and £35 per hour for my DDs violin and piano lessons. One lesson a week.

Can't believe how little some people are paying for their DCs music tuition!!!

£20 for 30 mins. Central London. 1-2-1 lesson.

£14for half an hour individual lesson for guitar.

Have i not answered this? I'm surprised!

£54 or so a term for secondary age clarinet lessons ( 20mins indvidual) school employers teachers directly not through the music service.

It's a good deal but the school subsidises this.

DH used to be head of music in a primary and he charged as little as he could to balance his budget. The old head subsidised things and the new didn't , It was a mathematical headache!

£14 per half hour private lesson

Some instruments there is the option to share a lesson but not piano which dd does.

I think it's about £19 or maybe £20 per individual half hour lesson. So if 1 lesson per week it would be around £220 per term. Exam fees are extra. (independent school)

DS2 £5 for group lesson (trombone) at Primary School, teachers from County Music Service. Am not entirely sure how long lesson is as she also fits in a brass ensemble to her time at school. About £60 a year to hire the trombone. Not ideal in terms of progress perhaps, but it suits us at present (he plays other instruments and is a chorister, no time!!) and it is only for another year. School also provides group recorder lessons with a peripatetic teacher free of charge for all who want them for the whole of Juniors. After school orchestra and woodwind ensemble are also free.

DS1 and DD at a secondary school which employs its own music teachers. Current prices £6.50 for 25 minute lesson either paired or single (or possibly small group). DS1 and DD have 2 lessons each, and in all cases there is no-one at their level or learning the same instrument so they have individual lessons. Instruments are £20 a term if needed. There is a wide range of school bands and ensembles, and there is a rule that you must play in a minimum of 1 band when you reach an appropriate level.

Nothing to do with either school but the County Music Service has a youth orchestra, and Junior and Senior Concert Bands which are all free.

£9 for 15minutes. Glad I am not the only one paying that much.

Got that wrong, it's £11 for 20 minutes, if they teamed up with another pupil it would be £7.

£12 for 20 minutes one on one, primary school, North Yorkshire.

Through local school music service: £90 for a 30 minute group lesson (term of 10 lessons); £90 for 20 minute individual lesson; additional £65 per 10 weeks for weekend ensemble sessions.

Through secondary school self-employed peripatetic teacher - £15 for 30 minutes.

South East based.

I would have to check, but more than £200 per term (prep school). OTOH, he does do all his practice at school as well, which is a particular bonus now he has started playing drums

£120 a term for DS drums

£68 a term for DDs clarinet

£170 for 10 lessons (Prep school)

£13 per half an hour for dd1 at school.
£13 per half an hour for DS privately out of school.

Norfolk, about £50/term which includes violin hire, 10 minute group lessons usually for 2-4 pupils, 10 weeks of the term (but DD is having solo lessons because she's only one at her level).

£252 per year through LEA.. Primary age. This is approx 1/2 hour in a group with 2 other children and includes the instrument. Paid by monthly direct debit.

Musicians Union recommended rates are approx £30ph minimum at the moment (so obviously divide by number of children).

However, the amount that the school or LEA subsidises this (and whether in fact they pay MU rates) varies massively around the country.

Our dc have out of school lessons.

Dd1 - accordion £15/half hour (but we pay for her teacher who is a prof atte Scottish Conservatoire, and seal ways 10 mins over).

£15/45 mins for dd2 violin.

£20/hr for piano, dd1 and ds have 45 mins, dd2 30 mins.

£70/week.

We prioritise it but heck it costs!!!

£8 for a 20min individual piano lesson. Juniors.

80 pounds a term, Sussex. Not sure about length of lesson /number of pupils.

We're in York btw which was county music service but changed hands around a year ago although using same people. Think it is cheaper for a larger group but is unusual to have that many people doing the same instrument at the same level iyswim. DS is year 4 and has lessons with year 6 so again not sure what will happen with his lessons next year. I pay by direct debit every 6 weeks although only from September until about April (I know I've paid my last one for the year)

£40 per term in a group of 3-5. Is a v slow pace when I think back to my own 1:1 lessons. Wouldn't be surprised if ds eventually gets bored of it.
